The traditional shioyaki (salt-firing) technique used in their creation involves introducing salt into the kiln at high temperatures, resulting in a natural, semi-matte glaze with beautiful, unique variations. These subtle hues make the set particularly well-suited for serving matcha, as the colour of the tea contrasts strikingly with the glaze.

This guinomi small cup is ideal for sake, tea and other versatile serving uses. Enjoy the texture of the salt induced grooves and pair it with its own shioyaki pouring pot by the same artist found here.

This slightly browned exterior salt grooves give the cup an earthy and rustic feel that can be enjoyed by touch and by the eyes. Its wider rim shape makes it easy to hold and good to host teas enjoyed at a lower temperature.

Mashiko in Japan is renowned for its ceramics, celebrated for combining functional design with rich textures that highlight the natural beauty of clay and glaze.
