Blue glaze teacup A
Blue glaze teacup A
This is a blue glaze tea cup made by Sekiun Kiln.
The beautiful sky blue color is reminiscent of the celadon porcelain of the Ru kiln, which was known as the kiln that produced celadon porcelain for the imperial court during the Northern Song Dynasty in China.
There are some areas where the glaze has a light purple color, giving the entire vessel a soft and elegant atmosphere.
This tea cup is made using a potter's wheel, scraping the surface and shaping it. The scratch marks on the bottom are beautiful. Only the bottom is unglazed, and the feel of the clay feels good in your hand.

FAQ
Which type of of tea can I brew with the teapot?
It can be used for any type of tea. However, unglazed pottery is more likely to absorb the flavor of the tea leaves. By using different tea utensils for each type of tea, you can enjoy the flavor of the tea to the fullest.
For example, in the case of Japanese tea, sencha, fukamushicha, genmaicha, and gyokuro are all in the same family, but since hojicha has a strong roasted aroma, we recommend using a different tea utensil.
However, glazed pottery or porcelain tea utensils do not absorb the flavor of the tea leaves, so they are suitable for brewing various types of tea.
How do you wash a teapot?
Please wash the teapot with water, without using detergent. Ceramic teapots easily absorb detergent ingredients, which can affect the flavor of the tea.
Tea leaves remaining in the teapot are the main cause of tea stains. After brewing tea, we recommend removing the tea leaves once they have cooled and rinsing them with water.
Moisture remaining in the teapot can cause mold. Turning the teapot upside down will help it dry faster.
We do not recommend washing it in the dishwasher. Please wash by hand.
Can I remove tea stains from a teapot?
Here's how to remove tea stains.
1. In a bowl or pot, mix 24g of baking soda with 1 liter of water at 30-40°C.
*Do not use aluminum or Teflon-coated pots as they will react with baking soda.
2. Leave the teapot in the water mentioned in step 1 for 30-60 minutes.
3. Wipe off the tea stains with a soft sponge or cotton swab. Do not use hard sponges or brushes.
4. Rinse the teapot with water.
