Set of 2 tea ceremony cups

1. Description

Ceremonial tea set – hōhin and beige-gray-blue cup

2. Purpose

This set is designed for brewing high-quality Japanese-style and gongfu teas: green, white, yellow, and oolong. 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 calm, natural color palette: shades of gray, pale blue, and beige subtly paint the streaks and discolorations of the glaze. The effect is consistent with the wabisabi style, harmonious and natural, with a slightly muted tone, allowing the vessels to immerse you in the atmosphere of a meditative, tranquil tea 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.

6. Functionality

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

7. Unique Features

• natural glaze "stains" that create a unique effect and the colors refer to traditional celadons.
• hand-turning and finishing visible in the clay structure,
• the way they are formed reveals the touch of the hands that shaped them
• 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.
