Kuro teacup - 14 cl

The Kuro cup and its dual glazed coating in profound black

This hand-shaped cup draws its name from its black colour, "Kuro" in the Japanese language, which is simultaneously rich in depth and radiant. This distinctive surface quality stems from the skilled handiwork of Mr Mizuno, who carefully applies two successive layers of glaze. When subjected to the firing process at elevated temperatures, this method unveils a refined interplay of light and shade combined with remarkable refinement.

Perfectly suited for savouring the full spectrum of teas along with various infusions, this cup is moulded entirely by hand in Japan. Each piece therefore constitutes a singular work of art, with every cup bearing its own distinguishing characteristics from one creation to another.

Whether for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift, the Kuro cup will appeal to anyone passionate about tea and the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship. Released in constrained quantities during the year-end festive season, it can be paired with its complementary teapot, available for separate purchase, to form a complete collection.
