Japanese crackle glaze teacup – 7 colours to choose from

A low, handleless teacup, in seven colours.

Its glaze is covered with fine crackles. They appear as the glaze cools and form a delicate network, different on each cup. The foot, left unglazed, keeps the colour of the clay.

Celadon blue: a soft blue-green. Celadon, a glaze much loved in Japan, owes its shades to the iron it contains.

Celadon green: a soft green, from the same family of glazes.

Dark green: a deep, glossy green, reminiscent of the moss in temple gardens.

Pink: a powdery pink, reminiscent of cherry blossoms.

Dark blue: an ultramarine blue, close to Japanese indigo.

White: a very soft grey white, which brings out the colour of the tea.

Yellow: a soft, luminous lime yellow.

Like Japanese teacups, it is held with both hands.

For green tea, hojicha or herbal tea. Made in Japan.
