About Tenmokku Glaze:

The Tenmokku (or Tenmoku) glaze originated from Chinese ceramics during the Song dynasty and became widely popular in Japan during the medieval period. It is traditionally characterized by deep, lustrous colors, often ranging from rich blacks to fiery reds, and accented with dramatic variations such as the “drip” effect seen in this set. The blue drip glaze on this particular set blends tradition with a modern aesthetic, creating a striking contrast against the darker tones of the carafe and cups.

Tenmokku glazes were historically favored by monks and tea masters for their tranquil, reflective qualities. This finish became synonymous with high-quality Japanese ceramics, celebrated for both its visual appeal and its ability to enhance the appreciation of the served beverage’s color and texture.

Each piece in this set is made from high-quality Minoyaki porcelain, fired at a high temperature to ensure durability and a smooth finish. The drip glaze technique requires careful control during the firing process, making every piece in this collection unique. The square carafe design is not only visually striking but also functional, allowing for a comfortable grip and easy pouring.
