Asemi Co. Tea & Coffee Cups - Iga - yaki Cup Hydrangea [made in Japan]

Crafted in Iga, Japan, this cup combines contemporary design with a pottery tradition spanning more than 1,200 years.

Each piece is handmade by skilled artisans using traditional Iga clay, known for its naturally coarse texture and distinctive mineral character. This version features a speckled dark clay body with a fresh Hydrangea-inspired glaze, creating a lively contrast between the expressive glaze and the earthy ceramic surface.

Tiny pebbles and mineral inclusions naturally present within the clay give each cup its characteristic rough texture and organic appearance. These subtle irregularities are part of the cup’s Wabi-Sabi beauty, celebrating individuality, imperfection and the natural qualities of handmade pottery.

Like all Asemi Co. cups, the Iga-yaki collection shares the same signature contemporary shape, allowing different regional pottery styles, clays and finishes to be mixed and matched as part of one cohesive collection.

Designed for tea, coffee and other everyday drinks, each cup brings together centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship with a simple and timeless modern form.
