Bizen ware teacup

This is a new Bizen tea cup fresh from the kiln by Takashi Soga, who challenges the beauty of antiquity by recreating the same environment in which Old Bizen was fired. It brilliantly reproduces the texture of Old Bizen, with a unique luster and feel that are truly magnificent. The smooth, gentle texture not only approaches the beauty of Old Bizen but is also wonderful from the perspective of functional beauty, with a superb finish that is delightful to the 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.
