Description: This Tokoname-yaki tea set includes two yunomi (teacups), each decorated with delicately engraved calligraphy. The teacups feature white-glazed interiors which allows you to see the true colour of the tea. Made by Unzen Kiln (雲仙窯). Tokoname-yaki (常滑焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, pottery has been made in Tokoname since the 12th century. Today, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content. Tea steeped in unglazed Tokoname teapots is said to have a mellower taste. Dimensions: Teacups:2.5" - width3" - height Condition: Excellent, no chips, cracks or scratches.
