There is only one piece if it is in stock. If it's gone, it's gone.
These espresso sized cups and saucers were made by the family Hyouzangama during a period of transition, and so they are very rare. Here the porcelain material has a milky, jade-like quality, the clay body seems to emanate light from within itself.
The zig-zagging striped patterns line-up beautifully; whilst Nerikomi is a technique that requires significant discipline, the resulting cup set is lively and playful on any table. Hyouzangama's pottery is recognisable for its relaxed, comforting presence.
Coming from a long history of making porcelain ware, the family tried their hands on the Nerikomi technique before fully transitioning from a porcelain-based to a stoneware focussed family business.
Despite humbly declaring they were "experimenting" with producing a different form of pottery, they have created excellent Nerikomi specimens as a family who upholds craftsmanship no matter what they try.

Susurri puts a lot of care into letting you know about a product's size, and endeavour to represent its condition and texture via thorough imagery.
Slight visual and dimensional variations: That said, there can be slight measurement errors (up to 0.5cm) and colour differences due to photographic equipment, lighting and differing monitor displays.
Textures, marks and imperfections: Susurri chooses products with "intentional imperfections" in varying conditions so folks in the UK can have access to vessels imbued with Japanese and Asian aesthetics.
Imperfections left behind by the artist's signature making techniques are inherent values to the products in this store.
Please understand that the vessels you receive may bear the following traits and marks. These are not considered faulty:
- Unless otherwise stated and pictured, most products come without tomboko, artist signed boxes, printed artist bios, or catalogues
- Some artists do not stamp or sign their works
- Distorted or warped shapes, rims, and bases
- Glaze cracks, many of which intentionally let stains seep in over time
- Stones or mineral crystals bursting through uneven surfaces
- Slight body cracks, usually covered by glaze so are food-safe
- Chips off the body or glaze which do not affect functionality or food safety, and are noted in applicable product listing
- Mending, always photographed and noted in applicable product listing
- Unsanded roughness
- Carved marks
