A charming vintage Shino-yaki (志野焼) tea set crafted by Tomiyama-gama (富山窯), featuring a classic Japanese aesthetic with a warm, rustic character. The set includes a side-handled kyūsu teapot and five yunomi tea cups, all presented in their original wooden storage box.
The design is defined by its elegant vertical indigo stripe pattern set against a soft, creamy glaze. Subtle iron speckles and natural variations in tone reflect the distinctive qualities of Shino ware, a style deeply appreciated for its organic textures and the way it embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi—beauty found in imperfection and simplicity. The gently rounded teapot and well-balanced cups offer a comfortable, tactile experience, making this set ideal for everyday tea moments or as a display piece.
Tomiyama-gama, known for its dedication to traditional craftsmanship, produces works that balance functionality with understated artistry. This set is a fine example of that philosophy, with each piece slightly unique due to the nature of handcrafting and kiln firing.
Condition: One tea cup has a small chip/crack on the rim (as shown in photos), and the price reflects this imperfection.
