Bizen ware teacup

This is a Bizen tea cup by Jumpei Kaneshige, the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige, the leading figure of the Kaneshige family. Through a labor-intensive clay preparation process that involves hours of treading high-quality clay and letting it age for years, the resulting texture is rich in character and warmth. The excellence of the clay, which sets it apart from all others, can be felt not only in its tonal depth but also in the rich, velvety sensation when held in the hand. We invite you to consider this high-quality tea cup from the prestigious Bizen Kaneshige family as a gift for someone special. Original wooden box (with two-way crosspiece lid)
Diameter 7.8cm x 7.8cm x Height 9.7cm
