Thank you for viewing. This is a small Tokunoshima Yakishime (unglazed) teacup from the Kawauchi Kiln, found during the sorting of inherited items. The included pamphlet states "Tokunoshima Yakishime Kawauchi Kiln." It is a Yakishime ware that does not use glaze, a folk craft item that allows you to enjoy the texture and simple expression of the clay itself. There is no accompanying box, and the individual identification of the artist is not possible, but it is a warm vessel that evokes the climate of Tokunoshima. Due to its small size, it is recommended not only as a teacup but also as a sake cup for Japanese sake. 【Size】 ・Height: Approximately 4.5cm ・Diameter: Approximately 5.5cm 　※Please note that there may be some errors due to amateur measurements. 【Condition】 ・No noticeable cracks or chips ・Unevenness, iron spots, and color unevenness characteristic of Yakishime (characteristics of the work) ・Weathered appearance due to aging 【Please Note】 ・No accompanying box ・The purchase date and usage history are unknown as it is an inherited item ・Please purchase only if you understand used items and folk craft pottery ※We accept requests for combined purchases. ※This product is scheduled to be discontinued at the end of February. (We will dispose of it if we do not receive any offers, as we have decided on a new place to move.) #TokunoshimaYaki #KawauchiKiln #Yakishime #Unglazed #Teacup #SakeCup #Mingei #JapaneseVessels #JapaneseTableware #Pottery #UnknownArtist
