Bizen ware sake cup

This is a new Bizen sake cup by Shin Nakamura, a master renowned for his sake vessels and tableware and the eldest son of the late Rokuro Nakamura, a legendary Bizen potter. The combination of beautiful *kumadori* (shading) and a vibrant scarlet hue creates a sake cup with an exquisite range of *keshiki* (scenery). Its balanced, seasoned craftsmanship makes it easy for anyone to use, making it an excellent choice for a gift, a collection piece, or an introduction to Bizen ware. The interior features *haikaburi* (ash covering) and the orange tones of the clay, promising a satisfying experience as it develops character through use. Signed wooden box (shiho-san style)
