This pair of lidded tea cups is a fine example of Arita-yaki (有田焼) porcelain, created by the artisan Shuhō (秀峰). Each cup is elegantly shaped, with smooth, rounded contours that convey a quiet sense of balance and refinement. The porcelain is finished with a delicate, translucent glaze of soft white, traced with the faintest blue veining that adds depth and subtle movement to the surface.
The lids preserving the tea’s warmth while enhancing the overall aesthetic. This understated beauty reflects the essence of Japanese craftsmanship—purity of form, restraint, and meticulous attention to detail.
Presented in its original signed wooden box (tomobako), the set bears calligraphic inscriptions and the artist’s seal, affirming its authenticity and origin. The combination of natural materials, fine porcelain, and careful artistry makes this pair not only a functional piece for tea enjoyment but also a work of art embodying the timeless elegance of traditional Arita ware.
