Introducing one of our 3 styles of Iga-Yaki porcelain. A true handmade Wabi-Sabi beauty with over 1200 years of history, perfectly suited for your unique experience of tea, coffee or other beverages.

This unglazed version comes in a deep dark tone with varying bronze shimmers.

Iga-yaki is a pottery style that dates back over 1200 years. In the 17th century, this pottery type from the Mie Prefecture broadly influenced its era with vessels and vases used in tea ceremonies.

Nowadays, due to the high quality of its 3 million year old clay, Iga-yaki is mostly known for tableware such as earthen pots for everyday use. Especially because of their sturdiness and high heat resistance.

Tiny pebbles inside the gaerome clay give our cups their distinctive rough look. Glazed or unglazed - each of our cups has their own unique character.

Our Iga-yaki cups are made by the Mashino-kiln in Iga, Mie Prefecture.

Large - approx. 230ml / roughly h10cm x w7cm
Small - approx. 100ml / roughly h6.5cm x w7cm

Some new unglazed Iga-yaki cups  can be so porous that water soaks through the clay. This is perfectly normal and will fix itself through regular use as the tea fills in the pores of the clay. 

If  moisture still seeps through, there's a simple fix! You can use starch water to seal the pores and prevent leaks.

Prepare the starch water in a large bowl, ensuring it's deep enough to completely submerge the cup.

Soak the cup in the starch water for a few hours.

Remove the cup from the water and let it dry completely before use.
