handpainted cream porcelain tea set origin: thailand | era: mid-20th century | material: cream porcelain with cobalt blue mural pattern
mizuki, meaning “beautiful moon” in japanese, is a serene six-piece tea set that marries everyday function with artistic craftsmanship. originating from northern thailand’s ceramic village traditions, this set reflects the fusion of japanese design philosophy with local lanna artisanship — calm, balanced, and richly textured.
each cup and saucer is made of cream-glazed porcelain and handpainted with intricate indigo patterns, forming a mural-like symmetry that recalls ancient textile weaving or temple motifs. the repetitive blue brushstrokes, applied freehand, exhibit the rhythm of a practiced artist — no two are exactly alike, making each set subtly unique.
mizuki is ideal for curators of lived-in elegance — collectors who value not only the visual but also the tactile, ceremonial experience of tea. as a display or functional heirloom, it offers a moment of quiet luxury.
