Know before you buy
The Touan Senchawan has a capacity of 60ml (2.03 oz), which is specifically sized for savoring small, concentrated servings of premium Japanese green teas like sencha or gyokuro.
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted nature of the Kyō-yaki ceramic, we recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the glaze and artwork.
Kyō-yaki is a traditional style of Japanese pottery originating from Kyoto, known for its refined elegance and intricate, hand-painted designs. Each piece is crafted with a focus on artistic detail, making it as much a decorative object as a functional teacup.
No, this teacup is designed without a handle, following the traditional Japanese style. The tulip shape is intended to be cradled in your hands, allowing you to feel the temperature of the tea and appreciate the craftsmanship.
