mashiko tea cup

This mashiko cup is a lovely example of a kumidashi-shaped teacup, a shallow round cup that is traditionally used to serve sencha (Japanese green tea), just happens to be the right size for a nip of sake. Who says tea cups are just for tea?

Mashiko pottery is made in the town of Mashiko, Japan. Home to over 300 skilled potters, Mashiko is known for producing rustic and earthy ceramics and has a tradition of producing household objects with a pleasing form and function - producing beautiful pieces for everyday use.

Each piece of mashiko is made by hand. Your piece may vary slightly from the photos.
