Shigaraki Tea Set 

This is a set of seven pieces Japanese sencha tea set, including a teapot, a cooling bowl and 5 small tea cups. This complete set is rarely found in the market.

The set is the work of a famous Shigaraki artist called Takahashi Shunsai ( 高橋春齋).

Shigaraki ware is generally fired at a temperature of 1,400 degrees, which is a high-temperature firewood firing. Shigaraki ware is recognized to have the special effect of raising the quality of tea and wine. When brewing oolong, it can enhance the aroma. For liquor,  it can reduce the spiciness which is amazing.

The ceramics come with the original wooden box.  An excellent set for gifting and personal use.

高橋春齋信樂燒煎茶器套裝 

高橋春齋(1927-2011)， 甲賀郡信樂町生，父親為三代高橋樂齋。1968年獨立，築「春齋窰」，1995年滋賀縣指定無形文化財繼承人。

春齋作品風格洗錬，土肌粒顆鮮明，配合柴燒的火痕，造出線條剛勁雄渾的作品。所製作之花入、水指、茶碗、酒器，皆能體現信樂窰變的極致。

這裏一套七品日本煎茶器，包括泡茶寶瓶、湯泠及5小杯，少見的完整套裝。

信樂燒普遍燒成温度為1400度，屬高温柴燒。此類茶器和酒器，公認有變化茶質和酒質的特效，以之冲泡烏龍，提香升韻，茶品喝高一線；飲酒(例如烈酒高粱)，酒香醇濃，降低辣度，神乎其器。

連同展示及收藏兩用之桐木箱，實送禮自用之文化優品。
