Style: Bizen Teacup$12.65

This Bizen Teacup is a cup shaped for everyday tea drinking.

Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Japan, each piece is considered a functional work of art. Crafted from porcelain, it carries the mark of true craftsmanship. Inspired by Japanese pottery traditions, it's designed for morning routines and quiet moments.

This piece draws on the Bizen tradition (備前), one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, known for unglazed stoneware fired for long periods in a wood-burning kiln, relying entirely on natural ash and flame for its color. Learn more about the techniques and traditions behind Japanese ceramics.

The details

About this piece

A yunomi is the everyday Japanese tea cup: tall, handleless and made for green tea, hot or cool. It sits comfortably in the palm and is meant for slow sips.

The material

Porcelain is fired at a very high temperature until the clay turns dense, hard and smooth. It is thin for its strength, takes bright colour and fine painting well, and rings clearly when tapped.

Its character

Glazes and decoration vary slightly from piece to piece, so yours may differ a little from the photograph. That is part of how ceramics are made.

It belongs to the Bizen (備前) tradition. See where it comes from.

Our story

The fire of stone

Ishi no KA means “the fire of stone”: the place where raw earth meets heat and becomes something lasting.

We choose each piece in Tokyo, working with kilns and workshops across Japan, and we keep their small natural variations, because imperfection is the mark of a human hand.
