Bizen Hidasuki Sake Cup

This is a new Hidasuki guinomi (sake cup) by Kazuki Nakamura, a potter who creates deeply flavorful works, continuing the lineage of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura. The piece is crafted using the signature clays of the Nakamura school, fired meticulously in an electric kiln to achieve a rich, mellow finish. The clay body has a slightly yellowish-white hue, adorned with a bold, deep scarlet Hidasuki (fire cord) pattern. The rim, in particular, possesses a sensual quality, a testament to the lustrous coloration achieved through expert temperature control. Signed wooden box (double-slatted)
