This set of five sake handcrafted cups features a fabulous collection of iconic Japanese ‘Eternal Elegance’ motifs, each assigned a complimenting background color. The talented Kutani ware artisans who create these pieces have used a low-luster glaze to finish the cups, allowing the period-specific motifs to command attention. These five sake cups each display a connection to the five traditional colors of the Kutani kilns, with the motifs speaking to the centuries-old history of pottery in the region. The designs include Kotutani, Mokume, Yoshidaya, Eiraku, and Shoza—each with a direct link to Kutani ware goods.
Beautifully presented in a wooden box, this set is perfect as a gift or a display piece. JOC Goods specifically seeks out carefully made, artisan-crafted items such as these stunning sake cups in a mission to create a link to art, community, and earth. Enjoying sake from these sophisticated porcelain cups ties the past to the present, paying homage to the ancient arts in a refined, modern way.
