This is a flower-shaped teacup and saucer from the RYOUKA series of USUKIYAKI. The petal design is graceful and has a sculptural beauty from every angle. The wavy rim casts shadows on the plate and table, creating a beautiful look.
The saucer can also be used as a small plate, suitable for placing snacks, cookies, nuts, fruit, etc.
The lotus shape is inspired by the chrysanthemum plate, the origin of Usuki ware, and arranged in a modern way. The area around Usuki City is known for its beautiful lotus flowers.
Unlike many other Usukiyaki wares, this piece is shaped on a potter’s wheel and then trimmed by craftsmen.
