Bizen cup

This is a Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the tradition of master sake-ware potters Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura to create works of profound character. It has been crafted in a convenient size suitable for both tea and sake, designed to be used freely for any purpose. The harmony between the sophisticated sangiri (kiln-altered) finish and the beautiful texture of the clay reflects the deep artistic sensibility characteristic of Kazuki Nakamura’s dedication to his materials. With its rich, earthy quality visible even on the interior, this piece is sure to be appreciated by anyone. (We also offer complimentary message cards and gift wrapping.) Original signed wooden box (with two-sided slats)
Diameter 7.9cm x Diameter 7.8cm x Height 7.8cm
