Description
Angular and shaped with clearly visible facets, this guinomi presents itself in a darker, more earthbound interpretation of the Hagi tradition. The shimmering glaze moves between matte anthracite and glinting gray-blue, letting the reddish-brown clay body show through at the edges.
While Hagi ware is mostly associated with its light, cream-colored glaze, this piece shows just how versatile this tradition-rich pottery region actually is. The deliberately angular, slightly asymmetrical form gives the small sake cup an unmistakable sculptural character. As a handcrafted unique work, this guinomi brings the multifaceted craftsmanship of the Hagi tradition into sake culture in an unusual yet convincing way.
