Experience the earthy elegance of Banko-yaki (Banko ware) with this exquisite lidded teacup set. Designed specifically as a "Meoto" (Husband and Wife) pair, this set features a slightly larger cup and a slightly smaller companion cup. Each piece is adorned with a meticulously hand-carved Pine (Matsu) motif, a revered symbol in Japan for longevity, constancy, and good fortune.
The lids are a traditional touch, ensuring your tea stays at the perfect temperature while concentrating the delicate aromatics of premium sencha or gyokuro.
The Art of Banko-yaki
Banko ware, from Mie Prefecture, is famous for its high-fired stoneware that is exceptionally durable and heat-resistant. The unglazed or semi-glazed purple-toned clay is rich in minerals, which is believed to mellow the flavor of the tea over time.
Authentic Texture: The tactile, carved pine needles provide a non-slip grip and a beautiful organic feel.
Functional Design: Lids feature a small finial for easy removal and help prevent dust or cooling during long conversations.
Auspicious Gift: Because pine trees stay green all year, this set is a popular gift for weddings, anniversaries, or retirees.
