Koishiwara Ware Yamamaru Kiln Teacup Blue yamamaru-103

This teacup, crafted by the popular Koishiwara-yaki kiln “Yamamaru Kiln,” features an indigo blue finish throughout. The glaze extends to the interior, creating a unified look across the entire vessel for a more modern and substantial finish. 【Important Notes】 ※Each piece is handmade by artisans, so there may be slight variations in glaze application, color, shape, and size. Please enjoy these unique characteristics as part of the handmade charm. ※ Surface crackle patterns are a characteristic glazing technique called “kinkitsu” and are not cracks or damage. 【Koishiwara Ware - Yamamaru Kiln】 Yamamaru Kiln's works are crafted with a dedication to Koishiwara clay and handmade glazes. Their vessels possess an atmosphere as if born from the great nature of Toho Village. The charm lies in how Koishiwara-yaki techniques harmonize with natural textures. Popular series include acorn-shaped chawanmushi steamers and mushroom-shaped mugs, featuring nature-inspired motifs like acorns and mushrooms. The vessels crafted by Yamamaru Kiln's 15th-generation master, Kajiwara Shōtarō, convey the warmth of the clay through their shapes and hues. Their forest-inspired motifs and charming forms are beloved. 【Potters Kajiwara Shōtarō】Artist's Comment I will strive even harder to create vessels that bring joy to our customers. 【Profile】 Born May 1, 2001 Graduated from Ukiha Kyūshinkan High School in 2019 After studying pottery in Kyoto for two years, currently creating works as the 15th-generation master of Yamamaru Kiln Present ■Due to monitor settings, actual colors may differ from photos shown. ■Occasionally, small indentations called “pinhole” (about 1mm) may be present.
