While working at home or an office, during mealtime, or just while relaxing, this Iga teacup offers a simplicity of classic design intended for everyday use. Stunningly handmade by skilled craftsmen in Iga, Mie Prefecture, this cup feels good in your hand, and your favourite tea experience will be more refined. 

Utilizing only the ash of Japanese red pine wood, this traditional glaze, “Matsubai”, develops a clear green-yellow colour when fired in high temperatures. Each cup results in an entirely unique and beautiful expression of Japanese craftsmanship.

Hand-thrown using traditional techniques, Iga-ware uses clay and natural glazes local to the region which are extremely resistant to heat and react well to repeated firing. Iga clay offers an elevated level of hardness while the pebbles in the clay result in natural character and texture.

Due to the handcrafted quality of these products, individual differences in shade, gloss & size of glaze are to be expected.

In order to best protect the Iga Teacup ceramic from stain or odour, before first use, please follow the care instructions provided.
