Side-Handle Japanese Tea Set | Rustic Ceramic Teapot & 4 Cups
This side-handle ceramic tea set draws on wabi-sabi principles — an earthy, understated aesthetic that favors natural texture and quiet imperfection over polish. The kyusu-style side handle offers a different pour and grip than a center-handled pot, a detail favored by many for its comfortable, controlled angle when serving. The set includes a teapot, four matching cups, and a serving tray, in your choice of round or rectangular tray. Crafted from ceramic with a matte, textured surface, this set retains heat well and has a natural, handcrafted feel in the hand. Built for four, it works equally well for a quiet solo pour or a shared tea session with family and friends. Lightweight and easy to pack, it travels well and makes a considered gift for anyone who appreciates rustic, artisanal tea ware.
