Shigaraki Faceted Sake Cup

Product Description

Shigaraki is located in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and is recognised as playing a significant part in the long history of Japanese ceramics. It is included as one of Japan's six old kilns – being said to have a history of 1260 years. In 1976 Shigaraki-yaki (Shigaraki ware) was designated as a traditional craft in Japan.

Hechimon is a collection of Japanese ceramics by a third-generation Shigaraki-yaki maker, Marui Seito.

These petite Japanese cups are the perfect size to savour each sip. The textured exterior meets the hand with tactility. They can be used for sake or tea.

The outer of the cup fades into a faceted detail around the base, with a loose fluid glaze. As every cup is handcrafted, each is unique and will differ slightly from piece to piece.
