This SHINO cup is crafted by Sydney-based Japanese ceramic artist Takeaki Totsuka, whose works embody the meeting of Japanese tradition and contemporary expression. Drawing on his cultural heritage, Totsuka explores the timeless beauty of the Shino glaze, a classic Japanese glaze known for its warm, earthy tones, subtle crackles and occasional flashes of orange.

Its perfect palm size size makes it versatile for different kinds of drink.  Each piece is individually handmade, with variations in glaze that ensure no two are alike.

The cup’s organic form and tactile surface celebrating the spirit of beauty in imperfection.

How to Care for Your Teapot

To keep your teapot in great shape, wash it with water only - no detergent! Ceramic teapots absorb residues, which can affect tea flavour.

Remove tea leaves once cooled and give the teapot a quick rinse to avoid stains. Turn it upside down to dry faster and prevent mold.

Skip the dishwasher - handwashing is the best way to preserve its beauty and functionality.
