Description
Restrained yet vivid, the glaze of this guinomi made of Karatsu ware displays shimmering tones of gray and beige traversed by fine flow marks. The slightly irregular, hand-formed wall with its organic rim makes each piece of this sake cup a unique work in its own right.
Karatsu ware is among the oldest ceramic traditions of Kyūshū and is closely tied to tea culture – its plain, unassuming aesthetic has for centuries been regarded as the epitome of the wabi-sabi ideal. It is precisely the apparent restraint of the form that constitutes the appeal of these cups for connoisseurs. This guinomi comes from Matsuo Shigetoshi and is delivered in a wooden box signed by the master potter. As a handcrafted unique work, it is a stylish companion for the enjoyment of sake and, at the same time, a fine collector's piece of Japanese ceramic art.
