Traditional charm for everyday tea moments

Product Description

This Hasami Porcelain cup brings a calm, everyday feel to the table with its traditional dyed design and compact form. The porcelain body is smooth and practical in hand, made for regular use rather than display only.

It measures 3.3" in diameter x 2.8" in height (8.4 cm x 7 cm) and holds 9.5 oz (280 cc) at full capacity. The shape is easy to pour from and easy to hold, with a size that works well for tea, water, or small servings.

Made in Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, this piece comes from a Japanese ceramic tradition with more than 400 years of history. Hasami ware is known for porcelain that is durable, easy to handle, and stable, and this cup follows that approach in a simple, usable form.

The design is described as Tochiri carving / flying plane, with dyed colorwork that gives the cup its character. Because of the nature of pottery, the color tone and the way the glaze appears may differ from the image, and each piece may vary slightly in size.

Made in Japan from porcelain, this cup has passed inspection for lead and cadmium. It is a straightforward choice for someone looking for a cup with a clear visual identity, solid daily function, and the quiet appeal of Japanese tableware.
