Fired with natural ash glaze, this sake cup carries the marks of its making — the surface settles into subtle tones of grey and straw, shifting where the ash fell thicker and where the flame moved. No two pieces share the same surface. Tadashi Tomita forms and fires each sake cup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a sake cup that carries the marks of its making — never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Japanese pottery (ceramic) Made in Japan Artisan: Tadashi Tomita Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
