This is a set of a handmade tea bowl and teacup purchased at a pottery fair in Kyoto. The color has a wine-red hue. This piece utilizes a pottery glazing technique that intentionally creates a glassy texture with fine, crack-like patterns. The artist was a young male at the time. I purchased it 30 years ago, appreciating its rustic texture and suitability for everyday use. As this is a handmade piece, I hope it will be understood and used by someone who appreciates it.
