Colour

GOSU is a historic blue pigment that has been traditionally used in ceramics, particularly in blue and white ware. GOSU has since become widely used across various ceramic production areas. Unlike other pigments, GOSU Blue is known for its durability, as it is applied to unglazed pottery, ensuring the colour remains vibrant and does not fade over time. Although collectively referred to as GOSU Blue, the pigment comes in a range of shades, from deep, muted blues to bright and vivid tones, and even soft, delicate light blues.

Embrace the timeless beauty of GOSU Blue with our handcrafted GOSU teacups, a signature of Hizenyoshida ware. This vibrant blue hue is meticulously applied to unglazed pottery, ensuring that the colour remains bold and does not fade over time.

Our collection of GOSU Japanese Yunomi Teacups showcases a variety of shades, from deep, subtle blues to brilliant, lighter tones, reflecting the craftsmanship that Hizenyoshida ware is renowned for. These teacups are perfect for both traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and everyday use, offering both elegance and durability.
