{"product_id":"p2801","title":"Bizen ware teacup","description":"This Bizen teacup is by Takao Kibata, who made his long-awaited debut after nine years of diligent training as an apprentice to Jun Isezaki. The piece brilliantly brings out the qualities of the clay, with a texture that graduates from dark brown to black in a matte finish without any gloss; the deeper you look into its rich color, the more you are drawn in. The combination of superb clay quality and a simple form makes this teacup both stylish and evocative of avant-garde pottery. Despite its modern style, it possesses the characteristic of Bizen ware that allows it to harmonize with any space or setting, making it a delight to use as an everyday teacup.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tourakuen.jp\/kibatatakao.tokusyu.2014.php\"\u003eAbout the \"Takao Kibata New Works Exhibition\"\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.8cm x 7.8cm x Height 9.3cm\n\nTakao Kibata was born in Imbe, Bizen City, in 1974.
