Kiyomizu Ware – Handmade “Namban Mishima” Pair of Yunomi Tea Cups
Introducing a handcrafted pair of yunomi tea cups from Kiyomizu ware, created in the Namban Mishima style.
The term “Namban” refers to pottery that was once made in southern foreign lands; it does not denote a specific country or kiln. Traditionally, unglazed, high-fired stoneware from regions such as Southeast Asia was called Namban ware. These pieces typically feature rough, unglazed surfaces and a rustic, earthy texture. Even when produced in Japan, pottery made in this style is still referred to as “Namban”.
The Mishima design here is created through a meticulous process using stamped floral patterns, known as “inka”. Each floral motif is individually pressed into the surface by hand, and the recessed areas are then filled with colored clay, allowing delicate flowers to emerge against the dark background.
In this pair, the smaller cup features soft pink blossoms, while the larger cup displays pale bluish-white flowers, adding a touch of vivid color and elegance to the subdued Namban tones. The result is a beautiful balance of rustic refinement and subtle color harmony, achieved through labor-intensive craftsmanship and high-level artisanal skill.
The interior of each cup is decorated with white brushwork (hakeme) over gray clay, while the impressions of the floral stamps can be seen faintly from the inside—traces that express the warmth and individuality of handmade pottery.
Despite its solid and dignified appearance, each cup is wheel-thrown and therefore surprisingly light and easy to handle. The gently flared rim (hazori) provides a smooth lip and comfortable drinking experience.
Large cup: Diameter 6.5 cm × Height 8.5 cm

清水烧 南蛮 三岛 手工制作 对杯(湯呑一对)
这是一对来自清水烧的手工制作对杯。
“南蛮”一词,原指古时南方异国所烧制的陶器,并非特指某个国家或窑口的作品。
它源于东南亚等南方地区,以无釉烧结而成,表面略显粗糙,质感朴实,具有浓厚的泥土气息。
多数呈黑褐色,即使在日本制作,只要呈现出这种风格,也被称为“南蛮”。
这组作品采用了“三岛”技法,即所谓的“印花”工艺——
在器物表面以花形模具逐一手工压印,再在印痕的凹陷处填入色土,
使得深色胎土之上浮现出花纹图案,形成黑地花开的独特景致。
小号茶杯上浮现出淡粉色花纹,
大号茶杯上则绽放出青白色花朵,
在沉稳质朴的南蛮风格中,增添了一抹柔和明亮的色彩。
每一只杯子都倾注了大量的工艺心血与高超的匠人技艺。
杯内以灰色胎土为基底,施以白色刷毛目装饰;
从外侧可隐约看到印花压制的痕迹,
更能感受到手工制作的温度与陶土的自然质感。
外观虽具厚重之感,
但由于采用拉坯成形工艺,实际相对轻盈,
使用时手感舒适,易于把握。
杯口为外反形设计,贴唇感柔和,饮用顺滑自然。
