Japanese tea set The mountain

Japanese tea service "The Mountain", its contemporary design is an illustration of the alliance of craftsmanship with a constantly renewed creativity. Magnificent pattern executed by hand with subtle and bright nuances, in original contrast with a solid, rough, and natural ceramic. The walls of the cups visually stand out in soft-colored, smooth, and shiny ceramic, in harmony with the mountain pattern. "Distant Mountain", this is the name of the series of this set. It 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 ancient; it combines rock clay from the lower layers that are rich in minerals. This material is nicknamed "the bone of the stone that has not touched the wind." The high-temperature treatment with oxidation and reduction results in this surprising opaque and granular ceramic on which the mountain in soft colors is hand-drawn with an incomparable glaze. The sets in three colors are all equally chic in their sobriety.

The tray measures 28cmX14cm, it holds 4 cups of 90ml, the teapot 350ml and its heating stand.

In 3 shades, white, yellow rather ochre, and black.
