The Vintage Checkered Glass Tea Cup evokes the romance of the Taisho era, a period when Japanese tradition met Western influence in art and design. Its soft, milky tones are created through a rapid cooling process, forming an elegant contrast with the classic ichimatsu checkered pattern. The result is a cup that feels both nostalgic and fresh, carrying the charm of Taisho Romanticism into the modern home.

Lightweight and refined, this glass is perfectly suited for iced tea, chilled sake, or refreshing beverages on warm days. Its graceful form also makes it a versatile vessel for serving small appetizers or delicate desserts, bringing refinement to both casual dining and festive gatherings.

This cup can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other designs in the same glassware collection to create a cohesive yet eclectic table setting. It reflects the craftsmanship and history of Japanese glassmaking while adding timeless beauty to everyday life.

Teacup

Japanese teacups called yunomi jawan (湯呑み茶碗) are designed for enjoying hot green tea like sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha. Selecting a teacup that suits your preferences can enhance your enjoyment of this traditional beverage. How the cup looks, feels, and even sounds are important factors to consider. The cup's shape, height, and width can affect the tea's aroma, too. Consider the material, thickness, texture, glaze, style, and decoration of the cup to best suit the occasion and your mood. Japanese teacups are fun to collect and make a special gift for fans of Japanese green tea.
