The Blue Striped Tea Cup combines traditional Japanese design with a versatility that suits both everyday use and special occasions. Crafted in Hasami ware porcelain, it features slender indigo lines that flow vertically along the outer surface, creating a graceful rhythm. Inside, the lines converge into a striking radial pattern at the base, accented by a subtle spiral detail that invites a closer look.

The slightly flared rim offers a comfortable sip, while the raised pedestal base adds both stability and elegance. Its lightweight yet durable construction makes it ideal for enjoying green tea, hojicha, or other favorite beverages in daily moments or formal tea gatherings.

With its clean lines and timeless palette, this cup blends seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional tableware. Perfect for personal use or as part of a coordinated tea set, it embodies the understated beauty and practicality that define Japanese tableware.

Hasami ware

Hasami ware, a traditional porcelain from Nagasaki Prefecture, has been crafted for over 400 years in the town of Hasami—just about 10 kilometers from Arita, the birthplace of Japan’s porcelain. While Arita ware flourished as an art form known for its elaborate decorations and luxury appeal, Hasami developed as a center for everyday tableware, valued for its practicality and refined simplicity. During the Edo period, Hasami became one of Japan’s main producers of daily-use porcelain, supplying durable and beautifully made pieces to households across the country. That spirit continues today, as Hasami artisans blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design, creating timeless and often playfully charming tableware that fits perfectly into contemporary life.

Teaware

Japanese teaware includes teapots and tea cups, tea sets, tea caddies, scoops, and strainers. Artisan Japanese teaware is handcrafted in small workshops and kilns throughout the country, and are typically made in small batches with care and attention to every step of the process. Their handmade nature exudes a warmth and individual character not possible with mass-produced teaware. Purchase a set or mix-and-match individual pieces to customize your own tea-drinking experience.

The smooth white porcelain and flowing blue glaze come together in quiet harmony, creating works that feel timeless and inviting for daily use.

FAQ

Are the small dents, pinholes, or texture marks on this ceramic piece a defect?

No. These marks are normal characteristics of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, formed during shaping, glazing, or firing in small kilns. Subtle dents, tiny pinholes, and slight texture variations are part of the artisan process — not defects. If you see clear cracks, chips, or peeling glaze, please email support@jocgoods.com with photos.

Are the small black or dark specks in the glaze safe?

Yes, the dark specks are safe. They are natural iron minerals in the clay that react during high-temperature firing, leaving small marks under the glaze. They do not affect food safety, durability, or performance, and are part of the organic character of handmade Japanese pottery.

Do your ceramic dishes contain lead or cadmium?

Some glazed ceramic pieces may contain trace amounts of lead or cadmium sealed beneath the glaze, at levels safe for food use. Japanese ceramic tableware is regulated under the Food Sanitation Act, which sets leaching limits for lead and cadmium in glazed tableware. Testing standards differ by country, so we cannot guarantee compliance with every regional regulation.

Why does each handcrafted bowl or plate look slightly different from the photo?

Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand in small artisan kilns across Japan, so subtle differences in color, glaze pattern, weight, and even rim shape are expected. No two pieces are identical. This natural variation is what makes each item one of a kind, not a quality flaw.

Even if a ceramic piece is dishwasher safe, should I still hand-wash it?

Dishwasher-safe pieces can go in the dishwasher, and doing so will not damage the glaze. That said, ceramic (earthenware) is more prone to chipping than porcelain, and pieces can knock against the rack or other dishes while loading and unloading — which is the most common cause of small chips. For longevity, hand-washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
