Zansetsu "Remaining Snow" Teabowl - Matte
Zansetsu "Remaining Snow" Teabowl - Matte
The Story
Called zansetsu “the remaining snow”, these teacups are made deep in the snowy recesses of Yamagata, inspired by the scenery of nothern Tohoku, when the snow has just begun to melt at the arrival of spring.
The clay is taken from the local mountains, with a long firing that results in a complex, rich, and slightly mottled surface, unique to each piece.
Due to the use of natural materials, each piece will have slight variation in tone, texture, and appearance. The natural glaze may crackle over time, this is normal and shapes its story as a unique piece in your collection.
