Japanese tea set The mountain

Japanese tea service "The mountain", its contemporary design is an illustration of the alliance of know-how with ever-renewed creativity. Magnificent hand-executed pattern with subtle and brilliant shades, in original contrast with plain, rough and natural ceramic. The walls of the cups visually stand out in soft, smooth and shiny colored ceramic, in keeping with the mountain motif. “Distant Mountain” is the name of the series in this set. This is enriched with its 4 cups and a tea box with a bamboo lid, all on a rectangular tray.

The technique of this black pottery is very old, it combines rock mud from the lower layers rich in ore. This material is nicknamed "the bone of the stone that did not touch the wind". The high temperature treatment with oxidation and reduction results in this surprising opaque and grainy ceramic on which the mountain in soft colors is drawn by hand with an incomparable glaze. The sets in three colors are all equally chic in their sobriety.

The tray measures 25.5X13, it supports 4 cups of 50ml, the teapot 220ml and 13cm high, the tea box 150ml and 5.5cm high.

In 3 shades, white, pinkish beige and black.
