Nabeshima Celadon Japanese Teacup - Handmade Ceramic Tea Cup for Matcha, Green Tea, or Coffee - Perfect for Tea Ceremonies, Home Decor, or Gifts

Product Description

This Japanese teacup allows you to appreciate the beautiful blue hues of Nabeshima Celadon.

Nabeshima Celadon is crafted using natural minerals sourced entirely from Okawachiyama. The tradition dates back 360 years when the Nabeshima Clan moved to Okawachiyama in Imari City in search of celadon porcelain stone. Since then, the techniques have been passed down through generations, preserving this exquisite celadon ware. Its natural blue-green luster exudes a mysterious beauty, creating a refined and elegant appearance.

A water-repellent material is applied to create a two-tone effect by resisting the glaze. The cup is designed to be stackable with others, making it convenient for storage.

When green tea is poured into the cup, the interplay of blue gradients enhances a refreshing ambiance, bringing a sense of tranquility. The celadon glaze ensures a smooth touch and a gentle feel on the lips, making it perfect for daily tea time or welcoming guests.

For an even more elegant presentation, we recommend pairing it with a matching tea coaster.

The current third generation, Kawasoe Takahiko, has a vision of "establishing Nabeshima culture" and began research and development of celadon from a different perspective from that of his grandfather. The kiln is working daily with the hope that the future of Nabeshima ware will be enriched 100 years from now.
