Vintage Japanese Sencha Tea Set — White Porcelain, 1980s Showa Era (SKU: 25M-440)
Whispers of Tranquility in Every Pour

Delicate and serene, this vintage Japanese sencha tea set (煎茶道具 / sencha dōgu) from the Showa era embodies the essence of quiet refinement. Rendered in pure white porcelain, the set invites moments of reflection and gentle ritual, offering not just tea, but a calming experience that engages all the senses. Subtle floral relief patterns add texture and depth to the surface, their quiet elegance revealing itself slowly in the soft light of day.

The kyūsu-style side-handled teapot features graceful curves and an openwork collar, designed for both form and function. Five matching yunomi (teacups) complement the pot with their soft lines and botanical embossments, enhancing the simplicity of the overall design. Whether enjoyed alone or with close companions, this set transforms the daily act of tea-drinking into a poetic ceremony of mindfulness and grace.
