AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Short description of the item and its origin
This unglazed wood-fired cooling vessel (yuzamashi / handmade tea cup) comes with its original wooden box (tomobako), created by the recognized Bizen ceramic artist Manabu Sakakibara (榊原学). Fired in a traditional wood kiln without glaze, the piece showcases iconic Bizen attributes, including rich Hidasuki (fire-cord markings) and subtle Goma (natural ash glaze) kiln effects. It offers an earthy, rustic texture and an ergonomic handheld form ideal for Japanese tea preparation.
