Tea Cup Set of 5 – Nunobiki Ware Unkai Tenmoku Ceramic Teacups

Tea Cup Set of 5 – Nunobiki Ware Unkai (Cloud Sea)

Like clouds drifting across a boundless sky, the Unkai tea cup set captures the serene, ever-shifting beauty of nature in ceramic form. Each of the five cups is individually hand-shaped and glazed using the rare Nanairo Tenmoku technique — layers of glaze that flow and merge like morning mist, creating a luminous, ethereal finish unique to every piece.
