YAMABATO - Handmade Shigaraki-yaki Teacup & Saucer Set

This handmade Shigaraki-yaki teacup with saucer features a softly layered glaze where ash grey, muted blue, and deep indigo markings come together like a quiet landscape. The scattered speckles, flowing brush-like accents, and natural glaze pooling are all part of its story shaped by hand and transformed by fire.

Made in Shigaraki, one of Japan’s oldest pottery regions, each piece reflects the raw beauty the kiln is known for: mineral-rich clay, organic form, and subtle irregularities that bring warmth and character. The gently flared cup sits comfortably in the hands, while the matching saucer adds both balance and versatility to the set.

No two sets are ever the same. The glaze shifts uniquely during firing, the tones deepen in their own way, and the surface carries the quiet signature of the artisan behind it.
