Tall, flared, yuinomi (Japanese teacups) by Tetsuya Kowari from March 2026.

Teacups are a prized art in Japanese culture and these vessels are no exception.

Sensual curves meet unexpected angels in a harmonious fusion of freedom and control. This work is finished in his vibrant, painterly, saishiki style, with abstract, geometric markings defining areas of colour, rendered over a white base and intersected by dramatic carved lines.

Each cup is an embodiment of the marriage between fire, clay and glaze, a true emblem of ceramic mastery and tradition.

We have three in this series - sold individually by perfect as a set.

Tetsuya Kowari produces extraordinary vessels that seem almost too sculptural to use but are in fact are all highly functional. These are pieces designed for daily use, or simply for daily contemplation of their incredible aesthetic.

Kowari creates his pieces in a wood fired anagama kiln in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the DEA Store is the official stockist of Tetsuya Kowari work in Australia.
