A tea cup crafted by Nishikawa Teizaburo Shoten, carrying on the tradition of “Kiyomizu Ware,” a traditional Kyoto pottery.
A graceful vessel featuring a white chrysanthemum floating on translucent white porcelain, complemented by soft blue hues. The gold-trimmed rim adds a subtle touch of elegance.
Pair it with the stone tea caddy from the same series for a beautifully coordinated tea set. It comes in a dedicated box, making it an excellent gift. It is also perfect as a treat for yourself. Original gift wrapping featuring the Hare and Twilight design is also available.

Nishikawa Teizaburo Shoten is located in Gojozaka, in the historic city of Kyoto. The shop is situated in a neighborhood lined with pottery kilns and studios.
Since its founding in 1917, the shop has sold pottery, porcelain, and other items, primarily Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, both in Japan and abroad. The first owner, Teizaburo Nishikawa, introduced Kiyomizu ware at the 1958 Brussels World Expo, while the second owner, Keitaro, expanded the shop’s offerings to include fine traditional Japanese crafts and lifestyle goods.
The current president has succeeded his father and continues to promote Kiyomizu ware and traditional Japanese crafts while introducing Japan’s exceptional traditional culture to the world.
