This elegant Kiyomizu-yaki teacup and saucer set is decorated in the hana mishima (花三島) style of slip inlay, a Korean technique in which white slip is inlaid into stamped patterns. Here, the exterior features stamped flowers (印花 - inka) and incised lines. The inside of the cup is accented with a singular spiraling brush stroke of white slip (刷毛目 - hakeme). These white slip decorations contrast with the dark grey glaze underneath.

This teacup and saucer set was made by Igura Toshiya (井栗敏也) of Toshiya Kiln (敏也窯). Born in 1962, Igura-san opened his own kiln in 1984 and has since been known for his unique spins on classic styles.

Kiyomizu-yaki (清水焼) (also called Shimizu-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Gojōzaka district near Kiyomizu Temple, in Kyoto, Japan. A subset of Kyo-yaki which refers to all pottery made in the Kyoto area, Kiyomizu ware has been produced since the 16th century
