## Summary

Elegant white porcelain teacup featuring an intricate hand-painted blue wave pattern, crafted in the traditional Mikawachi-yaki style.

## Description

This elegant teacup is crafted by the renowned Hirado Shouzan Kiln, a workshop with over 400 years of tradition in producing refined porcelain. It represents the heritage of Mikawachi-yaki, known for its luminous white porcelain and intricate hand-painted blue designs. Formed using Amakusa pottery stone, which contains minimal iron, the porcelain achieves exceptional whiteness and clarity. High-temperature firing enriches the color of the gosu blue pigment and gives the surface a silky smooth texture. A transparent glaze enhances contrast and brings out the precision of the brushwork. Every design is meticulously hand-painted using a demanding pre-firing technique that highlights the skill of master artisans. Pattern:Hirado Seikaiha – A traditional motif symbolizing peace and calm, Seikaiha (blue ocean waves) is rendered with rhythmic, delicate brushstrokes. The execution of this pattern, requiring the highest level of painterly control, is a signature of the Hirado Matsuyama Kiln. Usage Precautions:• Minor glaze irregularities may occur due to kiln placement and temperature variations—these are natural traits of handcrafted porcelain.• Do not use if chipped or cracked, as it may be hazardous.• Clean promptly, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry environment.• Avoid metal scrubbers or abrasive cleansers to protect the surface finish. What is Mikawachi-yaki?Originating in Nagasaki during the Edo period, Mikawachi-yaki was developed in goyōgama kilns to create fine porcelain gifts for the ruling Hirado domain. With a focus on artistry over efficiency, these kilns produced highly detailed pieces sought after by nobility. Since the Meiji era, Mikawachi ware has remained a symbol of precision and elegance, valued by collectors in Japan and beyond.Diameter: 3.0 in | Height: 3.5 in
