Suisho bori yunomi teacup

A very unusual lidded teacup from Hasami, Nagasaki prefecture. The small holes around the sides are individually punched out by hand to create a lacy pattern and then filled in with "secret crystal", a material whose exact properties are known only to the craftsmen of the kiln! When held up to the light, the holes sparkle, adding a lovely translucent quality to the white porcelain which is further offset by bands of sometsuke wave patterns. Exquisite craftsmanship! A great way to enjoy the visual effect of the green tea in the cup as well as savoring the taste!

Approx. Size: cup diameter 2.6"(6.8cm); lid diameter 2.9"(7.5cm)
cup height (without lid) 3.3"(8.6cm),(with lid) 4.3"(11cm)

Made in Hasami(next to Arita town), Japan by Tanshin kiln.
