Handmade, traditional craft, sake vessel, tea set, free cup Size: Diameter approx. 9.5cm, Height approx. 9.8cm Accessories: Wooden box, pamphlet Origin: Made in Japan (Yamaguchi Prefecture) Product Features: New (latest work), handmade As it is entirely handmade, there may be some distortion. Due to the nature of earthenware, the surface may be rough, and due to the coarse clay, there may be stone bursts or spots (kiln changes) caused by the effects of fire during firing, but this is not a defect. The cracks on the surface are called "nyu" (crazing) and are caused by the difference in the shrinkage ratio between the clay body and the glaze, and are not scratches. Also, Hagi-yaki may sometimes leak water, but it will naturally stop with use, and the tea stain will become a flavor and you will grow fond of it. Note: We take great care in photography, but the color may appear different depending on your monitor.
