Goma Japanese Teacup Pair
This exquisite Bizen ware teacup from Hozan Kiln features a pattern known as goma, meaning “sesame.” The coarse texture, rich colors, and intricate patterns created by the kiln’s flames exemplify Bizen ware—the timeless “art of clay and fire.”
The goma pattern is achieved by using pine wood during the firing process. As the pine wood burns, it turns to ash that adheres to the teacup, forming a design reminiscent of sprinkled sesame seeds. Each firing produces a unique pattern, ensuring that every teacup is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
Each teacup is thoughtfully delivered in a wooden box, making it an ideal gift for loved ones. Whether for a special occasion or a thoughtful gesture, this teacup is sure to be cherished.
