Glazed and fired by hand, this sake cup holds the quiet character of something made individually — not uniform, not repeated exactly, but consistent in weight and presence. It is the kind of piece that improves with use. Bunzo kiln forms and glazes 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: Porcelain Made in Japan Artisan: Bunzo kiln Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
