A gaiwan in glass — built to be used. Brew leaf in it and the whole infusion stays in view: leaves unfurling, liquor deepening, so you can always catch the right moment to decant. It handles a fresh boil as easily as a slow cold brew, which is rather uncommon for moutblown glass — Torimoto blend and melt their own heat-resistant glass at over 1300°C, so a material that usually can’t take the heat behaves like everyday teaware.

Wild mountain tea, hot oolong, or Chinese green tea, even a summer cold brew — a vessel, for daily use.

Hand-blown glass gaiwan by Torimoto Glass Studio (とりもと硝子店), Kyotamba. A husband-and-wife studio whose teaware comes from their own daily practice of brewing — including wild mountain tea they forage and process themselves.

Now at UNEARTHED, in the gallery and online.

Green spirals unfurling in clear glass — Bi Luo Chun, brewed in a katakuchi by Daigo Kikuchi .

One of the most tender of Chinese greens: downy spring buds rolled into snail-shell curls, with a sweetness that lingers like morning dew. Daigo’s hand-blown glass feels like a feather— giving shape yet disappears, leaving you the green leaf, the light, and the dancing cha hao!

Huge thanks to Dylan, whose careful sourcing brought this 2026 Bi Luo Chun to us — his eye for quality is the reason for lots of joy on our side. This is the April 1st lot which has lots of complex spicy and floral notes paired with the classical sweetness of BLC.

Sipping Spring 🌿

The very first leaves of the year. Kondōwase shincha from Mariko, Shizuoka — hand-picked by Oscar Brekell on day one of the April harvest, the earliest tea on all of Honshū.

What makes it strange and beautiful: the cultivar carries a partly Indian genome. So instead of the usual green-tea grammar, you get lilacs, exotic fruit and a bittersweet edge that lingers like late afternoon light.
Spring, distilled and shipped from Munich.

Torimoto Glass Studio makes blown glass in which water is everything — the forms are named for foam, ripples, dripping, swimming. Fully heat-resistant, each piece is built for real brewing: boiling water poured straight in, nothing to be careful about.

Yusuke and Yuya Torimoto are a husband-and-wife team working in the mountain village of Kyotamba, Kyoto. Both trained under master glassmaker Naoya Arakawa at Seikosha Glass Workshop — Yusuke from 2000, Yuya later, combining that training with a sculpture degree and specialist studies at Toyama Glass Art Institute. They left together in 2015 to found とりもと硝子店, self-formulating their glass from around fifteen raw materials. The crucible fire never goes out.

Daigo Kikuchi’s glass barely seems to exist. Blown so thin the pieces feel like they’re floating — horizontal forming lines that only reveal themselves properly in the vessels shadow, elegant feet shaped with quiet deliberateness. A faint blush of pink runs through the glass; not decorative, just hinting.

Kikuchi was born in Gifu in 1997 and trained at the Toyama Glass Art Institute, graduating in 2018. He then joined Peter Ivy’s Fluid Research Institute in Toyama, where he developed the ultra-thin, feather-light aesthetic his work is known for. His expanding repertoire of shapes and vessels is very brought yet distinctive.

Part of LIGHT & SHADOW II — online tonight at 8pm CET. Link in bio.

Miki Inoue works in Kanazawa and Toyama, making glass the way Japanese potters approach clay — shapes that follow the movement, not a blueprint. Pulling, folding, deforming: the undulations come from the technique itself. The polished flat base acts as a lens, bending light from underneath. Her most iconic shapes include drop shaped pitchers and her guinomi both combining aesthetics and excellent usability.

Grand Prize, Tokyo Dome Tableware Contest. Selected for the Asahi Contemporary Craft Exhibition. Trained at Notojima Glass Studio on the Noto Peninsula.

Part of LIGHT & SHADOW II — online Sunday May 3 at 8pm CET. Link in bio.

A lot happened around UNEARTHED lately (and I didn’t really had the capacity to share about everything).

We had a beautiful tea tasting with Yoshida-Chaen and Ikedoki Tea , sharing Japanese teas and stories in the gallery. We also made a quick visit to Prague Tea Festival .tea.fest, where it was great to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones, including Vlastimil Hanuš. And back in Munich, it was a real pleasure to welcome Yufeng to the gallery for a visit.

These moments keep reminding us what UNEARTHED is really about: tea, exchange, beautiful objects and the people around them.

Thanks to everyone who visited us in the past month and contributed to this 🙏

This is the most recent batch of wooden trays and tea scoops by Vlastimil Hanuš which have been released a few days back. I didn’t have the chance the share here yet but we are very happy about this new work.

This batch also features a new type of framed constructed tray, similar to traditional Japanese serving trays. The pictures are partly from pieces which Jan and Vlasta exhibited on .tea.fest .

Vlastimil is known for his quietly refined woodwork. Each piece is carved by hand and finished with great sensitivity to the grain and weight of the material.

The trays are made for preparing tea — stable, balanced and calm in their proportions. The scoops follow the same spirit: simple tools that become more beautiful the more they are used.
