MOLTEN GLASS SMALL CUP

A delightful molten glass small cup that allows full appreciation of the colour of the tea liquor.   Initially taking their inspiration from Chinese and Korean artisans, the Japanese quickly acquired the skills of ceramic art, even adding many of their own techniques. Crackle-glazing, stoneware, porcelain and molten glass techniques have been honed by the country's many skilled craftspeople, based mainly in the Arita region to the south of Kyoto.
