Bizen Beer Drinker

This Bizen beer cup is the work of Makoto Nakamura, a renowned creator of sake vessels and tableware, and the eldest son of the late master Rokuro Nakamura, a legendary Bizen ceramicist. It features the signature cylindrical form, showcasing a beautiful, orange-hued Bizen clay texture. This soft, orange-fired surface is not only visually stunning but also promises to evolve into a vibrant, brilliant color with regular use. Its ideal size makes it suitable for beverages other than beer as well. Includes signed wooden box (with double-slat lid).
