Cosmic Beauty | Mino-yaki Matcha Chawan | Half Cylinder Shape

Traditional Shape, Han Tsutsu-Gata (Half Cylinder) featuring midnight blue glaze scattered with fine, glimmering specks, like stars across a night sky. The glossy, almost black glaze reveals flashes of silver and cobalt when touched by light, evoking a sense of quiet vastness and cosmic beauty. This is a Mino-yaki (美濃焼) shino-glazed chawan. The ancient ceramic center of Gifu Prefecture is primarily known for these soft-touch, soft-glow cups and advanced glazing techniques. The Chasen glides easily in the cup, and the gentle sheen of the glaze beautifully enhances the shades of the frothy tea.
