A Hagi Ware Sencha Tea Set (萩焼 煎茶器)
Taisho (1912-1926) or Showa Era (1926-1989)
About the work
A traditional Hagi ware sencha tea set crafted by Sakakura Shinbei XII, a pivotal figure in the history of Hagi ceramics. This exquisite set includes a kyusu (teapot), 5 yunomi (teacups), a yuzamashi (water cooling vessel) and a small plate. The delicate Hagi glaze with its warm, soft hues and signature crackle patterns reflects the wabi-sabi aesthetic, celebrating imperfection and the natural aging process. The glaze will develop a unique patina over time, adding to the beauty and character of each piece.
Included is a tomobako (wooden storage box), signed by the artist, underscoring the authenticity and collectible value of this tea set.
