Embodying over 1,300 years of ceramic tradition, the Iga Ware Cup by Asemi Co. celebrates Japan's enduring pottery heritage with a modern sensibility. Hand-thrown from volcanic clay unique to the Iga region and finished with 100% naturally-derived glazes, this compact vessel features a rough, pitted texture that enhances your grip while you enjoy warm sake, espresso, or herbal teas. Measuring 3.4 oz (100 ml), its sturdy cylindrical form is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. The unique surface finish and earthy tones of the cup reflect the distinct character of each piece, ensuring it complements your dining table or tea ceremony seamlessly. Each cup is designed to be robust and functional, allowing you to savor your drinks while appreciating the philosophy of wabi-sabi—finding beauty in imperfection. At 3 inches in height, it offers just the right capacity for a sip of pleasure, making it an ideal choice for collectors and minimalists alike. With its modern silhouette, the Iga Ware Cup stands as a testament to thoughtful craftsmanship. Upon receiving it, you will discover each cup is packed in a custom Asemi Co. box, which not only safeguards your purchase but also enhances its presentation as a gift. This is more than simple drinkware—it’s a quiet ceremony of craftsmanship, perfect for personal enjoyment or as a cherished gift, promising to bring a touch of Japanese artistry into your home.
