Details
~ Ritual of Tea ~
Made of 'Minoyaki' earthenware, fired at a high temperature and hand finished at a long-standing family run kiln in Japan. Mr Marunaka’s family kiln can be found by negotiating a series of narrow, winding roads and precarious bridges spanned over small creeks. The kiln was originally opened by his father to exclusively produce vessels for ‘chawan mushi’ (a savoury egg custard dish). Now, 30 years on, Marunaka-san produces a limited range of items including tea & sake cups, mugs, bowls and pourers, including his classic shape for tea and coffee - the ‘lopsided’ mug.
Each piece is unique, timeless and made beautifully with the lasting quality of Japanese craftsmanship. Slight irregularities in size, glaze and texture reflect the artisan nature of the product and are embraced.
