This pair of Arita ware teacups, titled “Aizome Suiteki,” features a delicate gradation of indigo glaze that seems to melt gently into the white porcelain like falling drops of water. The smooth transition from light to deep blue evokes tranquility and freshness. The subtle texture created by the overlapping glazes reflects light softly, offering a refined tactile sensation. Crafted by the renowned Shinemon Kiln, a master of glaze artistry, this set is perfect as a gift for couples or special celebrations, presented in an elegant wooden box.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
