Round cup with "Kohiki" matt finish

This round cup has a beautiful "Kohiki" matt finish and is made by Japanese potter Katsufumi Baba. "Kohiki" is a traditional decorating method. It involves dipping the cup into a white "slip" or suspension of clay in water, resulting a natural appearance. Each cup surface has its own unique glazing effects because it is a hand made product. 

The rounded cup surface is a pleasure to hold in your hands. The cup is perfect for serving green tea - or even sake. There are two matt glazed teapots, with either a pewter or wood handle. Either one of the teapots can be combined with these cups to create a perfect Japanese tea set. 

Katsufumi Baba creates ceramics that express Japanese aesthetics. His ceramics are designed for our modern way of life. With his skilful technique, these durable ceramics will be your favorite tableware for a long time. 

Approximate Size: Diameter: 8cm (3.1") Height: 6.5cm (2.6")
