This Kohiki teacup is crafted in a slightly larger size. The Kohiki glaze is appreciated for its beautiful tonal variations. With its soft white base, it reveals subtle shades of pale gray and delicate hints of pink. On the surface of the thickly applied glaze, details unique to handcrafted pottery, such as iron spots (small black dots) and pinholes (tiny holes on the surface), create an organic landscape, giving each piece its own natural variation.

The distinctive soft white color characteristic of Kohiki develops a richer appearance and expression with daily use. In particular, darker-colored beverages deepen the tone of the vessel over time. This beautiful transformation born from the accumulation of moments—referred to as "patina" (the grace of aging)—is one of the unique pleasures of living with this vessel.

Furthermore, cups with handles are particularly prone to subtle variations in form and glaze expression, lending each piece its own distinct presence. Within its minimal form, you can feel the artisan’s aesthetic sensibility and the unique character that comes from true handcraftsmanship.

With its slightly larger size, this cup is ideal not only for coffee and tea but also serves perfectly as a vessel for starter soup. It gracefully enhances a wide variety of occasions, from quiet daily rituals to moments of entertaining guests.
