Know before you buy
No, these cups are not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of the Shino glaze and handmade ceramic construction, we recommend hand washing them gently with mild soap.
Tsutsu-gata refers to the cylindrical shape of the teacup. This design is favored in Japanese tea culture for its ability to retain heat well and provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip.
No, each cup features a unique drip glaze finish, meaning no two pieces are identical. You can expect slight variations in the pattern and texture, which is a hallmark of authentic Shino-style pottery.
No, these are traditional yunomi-style teacups, which are designed to be held directly in the hand. The cylindrical shape is specifically crafted to be comfortable to hold even when filled with hot tea.
These cups are made from standard ceramic and are not insulated. While the ceramic material provides decent heat retention, they will not keep tea hot as long as a double-walled or vacuum-insulated vessel.
