A set of tea cups for the chanoyu ceremony - "night sky"

color: " night sky"

A set of three chanoyu ceremony cups, two classic tea cups, and one spout cup. Handcrafted from high-fired stoneware, the " night sky" glaze creates a deep, anthracite-to-navy effect.

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