A set of five Japanese Shigaraki ware tea bowls/cups, finished in a rustic brown and khaki glaze. Earthy and tactile, each piece shows the natural variation and texture characteristic of Shigaraki ceramics, with subtle differences in tone and finish across the set.
 
Simple, functional, and full of quiet character, they are perfect for tea or as part of a considered, layered table setting. A lovely example of traditional Japanese pottery, where material and firing process take centre stage. Each piece has the maker's signature on the base.
