Hishimon Small Teacup
Hishimon Small Teacup
This ceramic small teacup is the perfect companion to the Hishimon teapot, sharing the same geometric Hishimon pattern in deep, hand-painted blue. The diamonds and squares interlock, creating a visually appealing contrast against the smooth white porcelain. Like the teapot, this teacup is crafted using traditional techniques, with attention to every detail that makes each piece unique.
The cup’s gently flared shape provides a comfortable grip and enhances the enjoyment of your tea. Its wider top allows the aroma of your tea to fully develop, while the narrow base fits snugly in your hand. The subtle, yet distinct Hishimon pattern wraps around the cup, creating a sense of unity between the teacup and the teapot.
Each piece is hand-painted by on experienced and skilful ceramics expert. You can see the detail of each brush stroke and the long time it takes to create this piece of functional art as each item is painted one at a time.
