Echizen Hôhin 110 ml

Hôhin, stoneware

This hôhin features a beautiful and varied ash-glaze. Creatively designed lid handles are typical for hôhin. In this case, it is an eggplant, which is a popular motif in the Japanese art scene.

nasu (成す) means "to accomplish something," "to achieve," or "to bring to success".
The eggplant (nasu / 茄子) therefore symbolically stands for success, goal achievement, and good fortune. Accordingly, it often appears as a lucky charm on ceramics, textiles, or lacquerware.

With 110 ml, the hôhin is well suited for the multiple infusion method. It fits well in the hand and conveys a high-quality feel through its weight.
