Takatori ware 高取焼 is a traditional Japanese ceramic style originating from Fukuoka Prefecture during the early 17th century. Known for its refined, lightweight forms and sophisticated glazes, Takatori ware was historically influenced by Korean pottery techniques and prized by tea masters for its understated elegance. The natural ash and iron glazes, often featuring warm earth tones and subtle variations, reflect the ideals of Kobori Enshū's kirei-sabi aesthetic, and are closely associated with the Japanese tea ceremony.
This pair of Takatori Kuremitsu sencha cups have an elegant simplicity; blending dark, almost lustrous brown with warm amber hues, evoking a sense of controlled spontaneity. This combination is both elemental and dynamic, displaying a textural richness between natural materials. Subtle speckles and striations form where the glaze has pooled and receded, suggesting a dialogue between the potter's hand and the kiln's unpredictable alchemy. These sporadic gradations create a sense of depth and movement, accentuating the form with dynamic contrast. The impression is one of understated, rustic sophistication rooted in nature; the result is functional art that feels organic and timeless.
