When visiting a store in Japan recently we had the pleasure of being served exquisite little cups of green tea in the JICON shot cups. One of the many beautiful ways to use this versatile and classic series. For eg: Facet shot cup: green tea, liqueurs, water, spirits, sake, espresso Facet cup: table water, whisky, tea, coffee, everyday use Facet rock cup: spirits on the rocks, cafe au lait, everyday use Designed by renowned designer Masanori Oji and made in Japan by the ancient Touetsugama kiln using the famous creamy white porcelain 'amakusa touseki'. dimensions: Facet Shot Cup: 51mm diameter x 65mm height Facet Cup: 78mm diameter x 70mm height Facet Rock Cup: 85mm diameter x 85mm height material: porcelain and glaze packaging: Cardboard and paper care: dishwasher safe / hand wash recommended JICON wares all come presented in their own box. Making them the perfect gift.Where there is a 'fuchi-sabi' option, this refers to the rust coloured glaze edging. Important: To ensure this ware is right for you, please read more information below about how the JICON glazes will age and gain a patina of use over time. The semi-mat texture and the milky whiteness of the glaze (known as haku-ji) combine to allow the signs of use to emerge. The appreciation of this patina taps into the deep concept of appreciating the passage of time that is so essential to Japanese culture.
