This one is finished in a deep black glaze, glossy and near-black, with a landscape drawn across it in gold: the kind of cup that turns an ordinary pour of green tea into something worth slowing down for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handleless form is not an oversight. It puts the warmth of the tea directly into the hands, and the low, rounded shape holds heat while letting the surface cool enough to touch — which is why sencha and hojicha are traditionally served this way rather than in a mug. The weight sits low, the rim is fine, and the glaze pools darker toward the base where the gold catches against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is applied in gold over the black ground, a technique that reads as light against dark rather than colour against colour. Two scenes are offered: one a lakeside landscape of pines and blossoming branches beneath low mountains, the other a temple pavilion with its curved roof set among trees along the water. Each is a complete composition wrapped around the cup, so the scene turns as you drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash to protect the gold detailing; avoid dishwasher and microwave. \u003cem\u003eSold as a single cup.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JAPAN CLOTHING","offers":[{"title":"A","offer_id":53626446643547,"sku":"14:193#A","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"B","offer_id":53626446676315,"sku":"14:1254#B","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/S4123c0ba858840dbb9197f7e3ad51ccc4.webp?v=1784569881","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/japanese-cup-tea","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
