Ibe Beer Glass

This is a new Bizen beer mug by Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with a superior aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his handling of clay, firing, and craftsmanship. Its unique form, reminiscent of cups made of Western gold or silver, sets it apart. The surface is adorned not with gold or silver, but with a striking contrast of jet black and gold, possessing a power that transcends its category. The rich, heavy "goma" (ash glaze) veil will beautifully highlight the white foam of a beer. Signed wooden box (shiho-san style)
