Mountains And Birds Kutani-yaki Tea Set
A Tranquil Tea Experience Inspired by Nature
The Mountains and Birds tea set is crafted from high-quality ceramic clay with a thick inner wall that enhances durability and heat resistance. Finished in a refined semi-matte black glaze, the surface is beautifully adorned with hand-painted mountains and birds. The contrast between the ink-like artwork and the black ceramic evokes endless green mountains and peaceful natural scenery, creating a calm, meditative atmosphere. While enjoying tea, you can also appreciate the artwork, making each tea session both relaxing and visually pleasing.
This black pottery tea set is fired at a high temperature of 1380 °C using reduction firing and secondary firing techniques. The matte, frosted surface provides an anti-slip grip, allowing the teacups to be held securely. The teapot handle is comfortable to hold and heat-resistant, while the three-legged base is smooth, stable, and gentle on tabletops. A well-balanced spout ensures clean, precise pouring, and the built-in filter holes effectively separate tea leaves and stems for a clear infusion. The rims and inner walls of the cups are smooth, offering a pleasant drinking experience.
Designed to be both practical and artistic, this versatile tea set meets a wide range of needs for daily tea drinking and traditional tea ceremonies, combining functionality with a sense of natural elegance.
