Japanese Teacup with Foot - Cherry Blossom with White Crackle

Product Information

This is a small teacup that fits snugly in the palm of your hand. It has a footed base, adding a touch of formality for guests.

The teacup's pale cherry blossom color creates a gentle atmosphere. The surface is smooth and glossy, and you can enjoy the natural crackle patterns that form on it.

"Crackle" refers to the fine cracks that appear on the glaze surface due to the difference in shrinkage between the clay body and the glaze. This piece, nostalgic yet fresh, is gently engraved with memories of living with a sense of gratitude day by day. It comes in two colors: white and cherry blossom. Despite its simplicity, it features a warm color scheme.

Because it is absorbent, dark-colored liquids such as tea or coffee may seep into the crackle, but please enjoy this as part of its texture. Soaking it in water before use can make it less likely to stain.

When first using it, you may occasionally hear a sharp sound as the crackle forms, but this does not affect its usability.
