Know before you buy
Mishima is a traditional Japanese inlay technique where a pattern is stamped into the clay and then filled with a contrasting slip. This creates the intricate, delicate design characteristic of this style, which is then preserved under the glaze.
Yes, the ceramic construction is designed to handle hot liquids. The tapered shape is specifically crafted to fit comfortably in your hands, making it ideal for warm tea or coffee rituals.
To preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the finish, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. Avoid using a dishwasher or microwave, as these can stress the handcrafted material over time.
Each authentic Kiyomizu Yaki piece features a signature or mark from the artisan at the bottom. This mark serves as a guarantee of its origin and the traditional craftsmanship involved in its creation.
With dimensions of 11.5 x 7 cm, this cup is sized for a standard serving of tea or a smaller coffee portion. It is designed for mindful, everyday use rather than high-volume consumption.
