Arita Ware White Porcelain Blast Shinogi Teacup & Saucer 200ml

This teacup and saucer, with its refined and modern appearance, is crafted by Riso Kiln, a renowned Arita ware pottery.

The most significant appeal of this ware lies in its "texture contrast," which truly surprises you upon touching it.

The outer surface of the cup and the surface of the saucer, which come into contact with your hands, are sandblasted, giving them an exquisitely elegant and smooth matte texture, reminiscent of fine silk or finely textured unglazed pottery. In contrast, the inner surface, where beverages and lips touch, is finished with a lustrous glaze (gloss finish), making it smooth and sleek. This contrast beautifully enhances the color of the tea and, at the same time, is practical as it prevents tea stains from adhering easily. This is a functional beauty that we, as a specialty shop, confidently recommend.

The "shinogi" (fluting) pattern on the surface of the ware truly shines when it catches the light. Precisely because of the matte surface created by the blasting process, the light is softly diffused, creating a sculptural, deeply refined shadow on the table that goes beyond mere "white."

With a full capacity of 200ml, it's perfect for leisurely enjoying your everyday coffee, black tea, or herbal tea. While exuding the crisp elegance characteristic of porcelain, it's also microwave and dishwasher safe, making it a reliable staple for daily life, not just for special occasions.
