Bizen Hidasuki cup

This Bizen cup is by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who continues the legacy of master sake ware potters Rokuro and Shin Nakamura, creating deeply flavorful works. Designed for versatile use, it is sized perfectly for either tea or sake. Even with the *hidasuki* (fire-cord) technique, which leaves no room for error, the soft white quality of the clay captivates everyone, conveying the artist's dedication to his medium. The vibrant, flame-like *hidasuki* patterns are highly striking and make this piece an ideal gift. (We also provide free gift message cards and *noshi* wrapping.) Signed wooden box (double-slat lid)
7.8cm diameter × 7.7cm diameter × 8.0cm height
