Oni Hagi-yaki Teacup

This beautifully tactile Asagao yunomi cup fits comfortably in your hand with a thumb indent on one side.

This type of glaze originated when Korean potters settled in Hagi, Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan. The white style of Hagi ware known as Oni Hagi-yaki (demon glaze) was developed by the Miwa family, one of the most highly regarded potting families in Japan.

One of the characteristics of the hagi-ware glaze is that there is a slight crackle on the surface. These crackles will become seasoned with use over time. This gradual change in colour is commonly referred to as “the seven transformations of Hagi” or “Hagi no nanabake”.
