The serene blue glaze offers rich variations in shade and texture, evoking the unique warmth of handcrafted work. The delicate, flowing patterns of the white glaze visible on the inside add a depth of character, making this a simple yet truly distinctive piece. Its rounded silhouette harmonizes beautifully with the rustic, earthen texture of the base, allowing it to blend naturally into any Japanese-style table setting. Beyond its use as a soba cup, it serves wonderfully as a vessel for tea or sake, or even as a small bowl or dessert cup. Perfect for both everyday use and hosting guests, it is a versatile piece that also makes a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate Japanese tableware. ◯Size: Diameter approx. 8.5cm, Height approx. 6.5cm ◯Founded in the second year of the Meiji era (1869), 'Kurashiki Mingei' Sakatsu-yaki uses locally sourced Kurashiki clay for all its pieces. Each item is finished with handmade glazes, created by continuously replenishing traditional recipes passed down through generations. ◯As each piece is handcrafted, there may be slight variations in shape and size. Additionally, because natural ingredients are used in the glazes, the color shades will differ slightly from piece to piece. ◯Characteristic of pottery, you may notice small pinholes or black spots, which are simply iron particles from the clay surfacing. You may also see variations in glaze texture; please rest assured that these are not defects but are part of the unique character of handmade pottery. ◯Please note that the appearance of the product in photographs may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and your monitor settings. We appreciate your understanding.
