The kiln specializes in Hagi-yaki (萩焼), a style of pottery renowned for its soft textures, subtle color gradations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cup features a softly rounded form with a gentle, tactile presence, finished in a pale bluish-white glaze that subtly transitions into warm blush tones. The characteristic Hagi glaze reveals delicate variations and soft, cloud-like patterns, created through the kiln’s natural firing process. Over time, these surfaces may develop further depth through use, a quality known as “Hagi no nanabake”—the “seven transformations of Hagi”—where the glaze gradually changes with tea absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foot of each cup is left unglazed, showing the fine, sandy clay body typical of Hagi pottery, while small, intentional notches on the base add a unique handcrafted detail. Slight differences in tone and pattern across the set highlight the individuality of each piece, enhancing their artisanal charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHagi ware, originating from Yamaguchi Prefecture, has been closely associated with the Japanese tea ceremony for centuries, prized for its soft textures and understated aesthetic. This set by Tenpōzan reflects that tradition while offering a calm, contemporary presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 7 x 7 x 5cm (Each)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56922830274891,"sku":"TB244","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_9b12dbe6-82c9-4bcd-9b6b-773915411d52.jpg?v=1774951348","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/products\/tb244-hagi-yaki-tea-cup-set-by-tenpozan-%e8%90%a9%e7%84%bc","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
