Bizen-yaki teacup

This Bizen teacup is by Takashi Soga, an artist who challenges the beauty of antiquity by recreating the same firing environment used to produce Old Bizen. He has brilliantly recreated the texture of Old Bizen, with a unique luster and quality that is truly magnificent. The smooth, gentle texture not only approaches the beauty of Old Bizen, but is also superb from the perspective of functional beauty; the exquisite finish is a pleasure just to touch. Made entirely by hand without the use of an electric potter's wheel, the form, crafted with meticulous attention to every detail, is surprisingly lightweight.
