A cup like a quail egg. The larger one is recommended for roasted tea and the smaller one is recommended for sake.
Iron contained in the clay rises to the surface giving the impression of a quail egg. The earthen, matte finish references Karatsu’s sandy, rough soil. Enjoy the mineral rich warmth of its appearance at the table.
Hanako makes each piece by hand, one by one. Slight variations in size, shape, color, and surface are inherent to the process. We hope you will embrace these small differences as characteristics that give each piece individuality and character, making them all the more lovable.
