Mumeiyaki Sado Gyokusuiken Kokusankama Watanabe Toen Shudei Chawan (Vermilion Clay Tea Bowl) Tea Utensils Tea Ware Tea Bowl With wooden box Detailed information is unknown. Mumei is the red-colored fine powder clay of iron oxide that precipitates in the quartz rock fissures of the Sado gold mine. It has been treasured since ancient times as a medicinal herb to stop bleeding. Mumeiyaki made using this clay becomes shudei (vermilion clay), shidei (purple clay), and kurodei (black clay). Its texture is dense and hard, its sound is clear like metal, and its color remains permanent. As time passes, it gains luster, and it is loved like a jewel ✨ Because it uses clay containing a lot of iron, it takes on a unique vermilion or reddish-brown color when fired, and the color and texture change the more you use it, adding to its flavor ✨ The wooden box and tea bowl have been stored at home for a long time, so the wooden box has scratches, scuffs, and stains, and the tea bowl also has some dirt and small scratches.
