21 Cup & Saucer (Teal)

A plump, rounded cup with a gracefully spreading saucer.The soft white and the shadows of the shinogi (fluted) pattern create a gentle aesthetic.Because it's used daily for coffee or tea, the feel in your hand, the lip feel, and ease of holding are all important.You can sense Mr. Enami's craftsmanship, having refined the shapes little by little while using his own pieces.

The pairing with the saucer is also beautiful, making your usual tea time a little more special.

[Care Instructions]
This pottery is absorbent, so its appearance will change with moisture and oil from food. It is prone to staining, so we recommend avoiding darkly colored foods until the entire piece has absorbed some oil. The more you use it, the more character it develops, so we hope you enjoy these changes. If you are concerned, please soak it in water for about 10 minutes before use. This will help prevent staining and odors to some extent, allowing it to slowly develop its unique character.
