Handcrafted ceramic cup with wave design

A Versatile Ceramic Cup for Tea, Sake, and Everyday Use

Elevate Your Daily Rituals with Kyoto Pottery

 

From Nagata Studio in the serene Kyotanba region of Kyoto, master potter Takuro Nagata—who boasts over 50 years of experience—presents this stunning handmade ceramic cup.

This exceptional piece showcases the timeless artistry and craftsmanship of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware, blending traditional techniques with enduring beauty.

Each cup is carefully handcrafted using the "press mold" technique, where clay is gently shaped by hand. This meticulous process, more labor-intensive than wheel throwing, creates a unique texture and an unmistakable handmade charm.

The slight irregularities and preserved fingerprints highlight the artistry behind each piece, making every cup a one-of-a-kind creation.

Elegant white porcelain cup handcrafted in Kyoto

The carefully selected porcelain has a translucent quality and a refined finish. Fired at high temperatures, the cup is exceptionally durable, ensuring its beauty lasts for years to come.

Its timeless elegance and robust build make it a versatile addition to any table setting.

The bold wave design, symbolizing eternity and good fortune, is hand-painted by Nagata’s wife, a former artisan in Kyoto's renowned Yuzen dyeing tradition. Her delicate brushstrokes in soft indigo hues create a harmonious and understated elegance.

This cup is a masterpiece of Kyo-ware, combining functionality and beauty, making it a perfect choice for pottery enthusiasts and collectors.
