Painted entirely by hand, this teacup carries the mark of a practiced brush — the pattern applied one piece at a time, each stroke placed by feel as much as memory. No two pieces come out quite the same. Hidemasa Miyake forms and paints each teacup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a teacup that carries the marks of its making — never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Porcelain Made in Japan Artisan: Hidemasa Miyake Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in pattern and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
