HISOKU - Handmade Shigaraki-yaki Ceramic Teacup

This handmade Shigaraki-yaki teacup carries a serene water-blue glaze shifting softly between clear sky blue and muted turquoise. The delicate tonal variations, fine throwing lines, and subtle glaze transitions are all part of its story shaped by hand and finished by flame.

Made in Shigaraki, one of Japan’s oldest pottery regions, each piece reflects the quiet beauty the kiln is known for: mineral-rich clay, balanced form, and a smooth, slightly flared rim that feels natural and comfortable against the lips. The medium size offers a generous, steady presence in the hands, making it ideal for unhurried tea moments.

No two cups are ever the same. The glaze settles differently with each firing, the tones deepen in their own way, and the surface carries the subtle signature of the artisan behind it.
