Kokuzou Kiln Turkish Blue Graze Kutani Guinomi Sake Cup
This is a beautiful bright Turkish blue Japanese sake cup.
Made by Kokuzou kiln, known for the gentle and warm stoneware with beautiful colors and elegant design, which tries to create everyday's tableware into something more special.
This series was completed over a full year from the desire to create the original beautiful Turkish blue tablewares of the Kokuzo kiln.
By continuing to take on challenges despite repeated failures, this vibrant color and elegant matte texture were completed.
This sake cup with foot has an elegant atmosphere, suitable not only for drinking sake, but also for serving a small portion of soup and desserts.
Highly recommended to pair this with the sake carafe from our Kokuzou Kiln Turkish blue collection.

About kutani ware
Kutani ware is a type of pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years.
It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines.
Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
In the early 1700s, the Kutani kilns were closed, but about 80 years later they were opened and Kutani ware was revived.
The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
