Bizen tea cup

This is a Bizen tea cup by Jumpei Kaneshige, the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige, the leading figure of the Kaneshige family. The clay, which is painstakingly prepared by treading for hours and aging for many years, gives the piece a rich, expressive, and warm texture. The excellence of this clay, which sets it apart from all others, can be felt not only in its coloration but also in the rich, tactile sensation as it seems to cling to your hand. We invite you to consider this high-quality tea cup from the prestigious Bizen Kaneshige family as a gift for someone special. Signed wooden box (Nifusazan style)
