Vintage item, never used. This elegant tall cup set by Tachikichi（たち吉） is crafted in the style of Hagi-yaki (萩焼), embodying a soft, earthy aesthetic and quiet refinement. The pair comes beautifully presented in a woven basket with matching placemat, adding a natural warmth and making it ideal for gifting or everyday use.
Each cup features a gently flared silhouette, comfortable to hold and versatile in function. The glazes reflect the characteristic Hagi-inspired tones. Designed as various-purpose “free cups,” they are suitable for tea, coffee, black tea, beer, shochu, sake, and other beverages. The slightly tapered form fits comfortably in the hand, while the generous height makes them practical for both hot and cold drinks.
Founded in 1752 in Kyoto during the mid-Edo period, Tachikichi is one of Japan’s most respected ceramic producers and retailers. With over 260 years of history, the brand is known for harmonizing traditional Kyoto sensibility with contemporary functionality. This set perfectly reflects that balance — honoring the soft, natural expression of Hagi-style pottery while adapting it for modern lifestyles.
