An elegant tea or coffee mug with a fine rim and gracefully curving handle. Each cup displays a unique organic glaze, and yours may vary slightly from the one pictured.

Located on the outskirts of Tokyo, Kasama is a relative new-comer in Japanese ceramics, established a little over 250 years ago. Kasama pottery is known for being part of a 'new' wave of idiosyncratic ceramicists, unencumbered by some of the more traditional techniques and aesthetics of the older kilns.

This listing is for one cup.

made in Japan

During the late 1770s the population of Kasama was growing, and the irregular income from agriculture led people to seek more from their surroundings; the answer lay in the rich seam of ceramic clay that lay beneath the people's feet! In 1772 village elder, Hanuemon Kuno, encountered a visiting ceramicist from western Japan, and legend has it that the meeting of these two minds led to the establishment of a new pottery industry that has prospered ever since.
