Tea cups - mame-matchachawan - 3-piece set - "ginger"

Description

Color: ginger, warm yellow-beige

A set for ceremonial tea brewing – a hōhin and two cups made of light fawn clay and covered with yellow glaze with whitish and reddish-beige discolorations

2. Purpose

This set is designed for brewing high-quality Japanese-style and gongfu teas: green, white, yellow, and oolong. It's also suitable for brewing a small batch of matcha. Perfect for both everyday tea rituals and more formal ceremonies.

3. Technique and execution

Each piece is handcrafted from light clay. The vessels were made on a potter's wheel, and the finishing touches—including the distinctive details on the spouts and bases—were hand-finished. The hōhin and bowls have perfectly thin walls and sit softly in the hand.

4. Colors and character

The set features a calming color palette: shades of yellow, whitened yellow, and warm beige, which highlight the clay's structure. The effect is harmonious and natural, making the vessels perfectly suited to the atmosphere of a meditative, tranquil ritual.

5. Dimensions and capacity

The dimensions of the individual vessels are classic for tea sets:

• Hōhin – a pour-over teapot with a slightly open profile.
• Cups – comfortable, light and handy, slightly open

6. Functionality

The set is designed to work in perfect harmony: the hōhin allows for temperature control, brewing speed, and precise dosing. The cups are comfortable in the hand, have thin walls, and a mouth-friendly profile. The whole set is perfect for both a quiet home ritual and a gongfu-style tea tasting.

7. Unique Features

• natural "stains" and abrasions as well as lightening of the enamel create a unique effect and the colors refer to the colors of nature
• hand-turning and finishing visible in the clay structure,
• traditional form of hōhin and bowls
• perfect color coordination of all elements,
• author's signature emphasizing the uniqueness of the set.

8. What does the user gain?

The user receives a set that truly enhances the quality and pleasure of brewing tea: greater control over the process, a better-tasting infusion, and a beautiful ritual that soothes and allows for a moment of mindfulness. These vessels create an atmosphere—calm, natural, Japanese-minimalist—and make every cup of tea a small, daily celebration.
