I know this is a long shot, but I was recently in Okinawa and bought this beautiful teacup and, upon getting back home to the USA, was instantly wracked with regret that I hadn’t bought a second teacup and the matching teapot. I’ve been able to find other pieces by the same artist and in the same style online, but not the teacup or teapot. If anyone knows of a reliable service for purchasing and shipping things in Okinawa, or is willing to let me pay them to buy and ship it, I’d be very grateful.
I’ve attached a photo of the teacup, and put links to the info I found on pages selling other wares from the same seller below.
https://theokinawa.shopselect.net/items/58448669 – From Google Translate, ” \[Kiyomasa Pottery\] “Yachimun Street” in Tsuboya, Naha City. Kiyomasa Pottery is located on a narrow street a little way down the quaint street lined with Tsuboya ware shops. The entrance to the store is wide open, and the store has a sense of openness where you are greeted by beautiful works of art. Kiyomasa Pottery is a Tsuboya ware pottery that has been in Tsuboya for over 300 years, and the ceramic artist Takashi Kobashigawa is a traditional Japanese craftsman. ”

From Amazon, “This is a piece of “Kiyosho Pottery” from the pottery pottery in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. “Kiyosho Pottery” has continued its ancestors since 300 years and has worked in research and work with the line carved fish pattern of “Red Ek”. From “Kiyomasa Pottery” by Takushi Ohashikawa.”
