When we found this shape in Japan a couple of years ago we were instantly drawn to it. It's a clean design but rustic in one, with a textured, white coloured glaze and featuring a single blue brush line. The Gifu is named after the prefecture in which it comes from and because it exudes traditional charm. This cup, when held in the hands, is the perfect size and shape for a Japanese green tea.

Craft

This cup was made in a small workshop in Tajimi, Japan. This particular workshop is family run and everything is very hands on. The Gifu candle also has a matching Gifu bowl with the same distinct glazing details. 

Ingredients & Craft

Our studio is located in Surry Hills, Sydney, where we pour each and every one of our candles by hand. We pure soy wax and boutique natural fragrances to craft our candles.

Each one is designed with sustainability in mind, the idea is once you finish burning your candle you can reuse the Japanese ceramic vessel. Simply remove the wick, wash with hot soapy water and use it as a tea or coffee cup, or bring it back to the store for a candle refill. We think candles should be burnt and enjoyed every day and not just saved for special occasions, so burn it, refill it or reuse it.
