With a swirl patterned base inside, it's perfect for serving matcha tea.

Terunobu Hirata arrived in Australia from Osaka, Japan in 1973.

Originally trained as a chef, he moved to pottery 25 years ago, working in stoneware and porcelain.

His designs are bold and contemporary with lustrous glazes. A nod to the past with organic style glazing partnered with perfectly proportioned shapes, Hirata’s work is a joy to live with.
