A handmade, round tea cup by Masashi Furumoto from Japan.
The vibrant blue glaze has soft nuances that reveal the craftsman's craftsmanship. A small red crab crawls along the side – a playful yet meaningful detail.
In Japanese tradition, the crab symbolizes protection and strength .
With her sturdy shell and quiet determination, she is a reminder of the care and dedication with which something precious is preserved – be it a bonsai, a thought, or a moment of peace with a cup of tea.
Each cup is unique, shaped by hand and designed to add a special touch to everyday use.
