Shino Crimson Camellia Tea Cup

Elevate your tea experience with our Shino Crimson Camellia Tea Cup, a stunning piece that embodies the beauty of traditional Japanese ceramics with a contemporary twist. This cup is a perfect blend of form and function, ideal for enjoying your favorite teas while appreciating fine craftsmanship.

Measuring 8cm in height and 7.8cm in diameter, with a capacity of 220cc, this cup is comfortably sized for a variety of hot beverages. Its slightly wider body provides a pleasant grip and allows the aroma of your tea to develop fully.

The cup features a striking design of bold, flowing crimson brushstrokes against a creamy white background, reminiscent of the petals of a camellia flower. This dynamic pattern, executed in the Shino style, creates a sense of movement and organic beauty around the cup. Within the red areas, small golden details are delicately painted, adding depth and a touch of elegance to the design.

Shino ware, originating from Mino Province (present-day Gifu Prefecture), is known for its thick, creamy white glaze and often features iron oxide decorations. This cup beautifully represents the Shino tradition while incorporating modern aesthetic sensibilities.

The interior of the cup is finished in the same creamy white as the background, providing a clean canvas that allows the color of your tea to shine. The design continues seamlessly from the exterior to the interior of the cup, creating a cohesive and artful appearance from all angles.

Each cup is handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. The combination of the bold crimson design, subtle gold accents, and the creamy Shino glaze makes this cup a versatile piece that can complement both traditional and contemporary tea settings.
