Japanese Shigaraki Tara Tara (たらたら) Mini Tea Cups, Two as a Set

Meet the Japanese Shigaraki Tara Tara (たらたら) Mini Tea Cups sold as a set of two and wheel-thrown in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.

Crafted in Shigaraki—one of Japan’s six ancient kiln sites—this piece highlights the raw beauty of its iron-rich clay.

These Japanese mini teacups feature softly layered slip and a gently flowing glaze that settles naturally along the surface, thus a subtle tara tara (たらたら) effect. The muted, earthy tones and subtle transitions between clay and glaze create a quiet, organic composition.

Intimate in scale, each cup invites a moment of stillness—designed for mindful use and appreciation of touch. Slight variations in form and finish make every piece uniquely its own.

Each piece is one of a kind, with natural variations in glaze, tone, and texture that speak to its handmade origin.
