Tea cups - set of 2 - "peat lake"

color: " peat lake"

A classic tea set: a tea cup and a pour-over cup for the chanoyu ceremony. The cups are large enough to prepare matcha tea. Handcrafted from high-fired stoneware, the glaze is the color of a "peat lake" —the walls are rich brown with sapphire highlights from the cast iron—a deep, shimmering effect, like the reflection of the sky in the deep water.

Only one set like this. A unique collector's item. I create similar ones, but each one is unique.
