  • Clay and Glaze: Made from a mixture of local clays, Hagi Ware is often coated with a feldspar glaze that may crackle over time.
  • Color: Common hues range from creamy whites and soft pinks to earthy oranges and grays.
  • Texture: Typically soft to the touch, the surface may feel slightly porous.
  • Craquelure (kan’nyū): Over time, the glaze develops fine cracks, allowing tea to seep in and gradually change the vessel’s appearance — a phenomenon highly prized by tea practitioners.
