Kumidashi Tea Cups / / Nara / Tsujimura Kai
Kumidashi are smaller tea cups usually used to serve guests tea in, just enough for a polite conversation and not enough to stay for hours. Here is a set of five by Tsujimura Kai, very much like the ones we use here in the gallery---and ours have changed dramatically with use over the years--each is in perfect condition, 6cm.tallx10, signed on base, box extra.
It offers over 450 English pages and 4300+ photos on Japan's pottery scene and the styles and traditions of Japanese pottery.
