Uki Hanae Blue-kopp

The blue glaze has a lovely depth that shifts in the light, and the hand-painted details feel really special. I've been using it for my morning tea and the ceramic stays warm just long enough without burning my hands.

The hand-painted floral pattern on this cup has such delicate brushwork, and each petal looks slightly different from the others. It's a bit lighter than I expected, which actually makes my morning coffee feel more elegant. Knowing it was made in Tajimi by artisans makes me appreciate it even more.

The handmade painting really shows in the brushwork—you can see slight variations that make each cup feel one-of-a-kind. It arrived well-packaged and the size is perfect for a morning tea, though I wish the base were a bit thicker for heat retention.
