Before entering the world of ceramic making, Tetsu Murata studied the art of charcoal ink painting (called suibokuga) for several years under his father Konosuke I, a highly accomplished painter. Today, he employs the same brush techniques to create his own distinctive style of sometsuke (cobalt glazed) porcelain wares.

This green tea cup set is a proud example of Tetsu Murata's masterful brushwork.  Vignettes of mountainside and seascapes are framed by floral and geometric patterns which have been rendered on Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ware) since the Edo era.

The set is called meioto (his and hers), where one cup is formed slightly taller than the other.  It makes the ideal gift for any couple who appreciates green tea.
