A handmade cup earns its place through daily use — the weight in the hand, the feel of the lip against the mouth, the way it holds heat in the morning. This one is made in Japan, shaped and glazed individually, built to last through years of use. Tatsuo Otomo is based in Shiga, Japan. Each cup is glazed by hand from start to finish — shaped, glazed, and fired individually, with the lip and surface given the same care as the overall form. 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: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Shiga, Japan Artisan: Tatsuo Otomo Size: 8.7 × 8 cm (3.4 × 3.1 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
