A set of tea ceremony cups - "lake surface"

color: "lake surface "

A classic set for serving matcha tea – mame matchachawan – and loose-leaf teas: tea cups and a pour-over cup. The cups are large enough to serve both black tea and matcha . Handcrafted from high-fired stoneware , the glaze is a vibrant, deep blue with darker and pale blue hues. The clay ridges feature greenish abrasions.

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