Thank you for viewing. I am selling items that I have stored in my warehouse or purchased at antique fairs. The descriptions are automatically generated by AI. Please use the images to judge the authenticity for yourself as a reference. This beautiful teacup is a handmade work by Shiro Kato, a masterpiece that showcases the techniques of the Kamashita kiln. The design of the iron-painted half-cylinder is applied, and it serves as an ideal vessel for enjoying matcha, fulfilling its role as a tea utensil. This teacup, which expresses the traditional Japanese aesthetic, provides a moment of tranquility in the tea ceremony. The surface of the teacup features elaborate Japanese calligraphy, enhancing its visual beauty. It is also perfect as a gift or for a collection, and will surely be a special presence for those who love the tea ceremony. Pottery from the old days may have distortions, manufacturing flaws (kiln marks), and underfired areas (cracks). These are inherent characteristics, and are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please check the condition of the product carefully in the images before purchasing.
