Tasei Kiln Lustrous Pink Sakura Arita Ware Guinomi Sake Cup
This is a guinomi sake cup adorned with a lustrous glaze that emits a colorful and splendid radiance across its surface. Around the rim, a ring of soft pink complements the surface, which is meticulously decorated with pink and white gradient cherry blossoms and petals. The body of the cup features a concave design, not only shaping the cherry blossoms but also enhancing the grip. It combines aesthetics with practicality.
It can be used to savor Japanese sake or other spirits, as well as various teas. The cherry blossom motif and the enchanting lustrous glaze are sure to add color and charm to your life.
At Tasei Kiln, two skilled female artisans, each with over 40 years of experience, meticulously paint intricate and graceful patterns onto each item before coating them with a luster glaze. This special technique imbues the sake cup with a luxurious and stylish feel. Following the painting of sakura designs, they are meticulously masked off, leaving the remaining surface to be coated with the luster glaze. The white surface exhibits a distinct textured glossy glimmer and shines beautifully under light, enhanced by an added sprinkle of glaze.
Tasei Kiln was established in 1956 and has been producing beautiful Arita ware for more than 60 years. They strive to create items that enrich living spaces, bringing a sense of fulfillment to those who use them. The charm of Tasei Kiln's products is in their unique, simple, and easy-to-use designs, as well as in the delicate colors used in their painting.

Although commonly associated with the spring, the blooms on these pieces are timeless and can be used any time throughout the year.

ABOUT ARITA WARE
Arita Ware, made in the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, is the oldest porcelain production area in Japan's history. Arita porcelain is characterized by its translucent white porcelain surface, dyeing using "Gosu" (indigo pigment), and gorgeous red painting using glassy overglaze pigments (red, green, yellow, purple, and blue). The pottery is highly durable and is produced in a wide variety of styles, from fine art to daily necessities. It was exported to Europe, where it was prized as fine art and called "white gold".
Arita Ware is also a prestigious brand that is admired by ceramicists from other regions as a representative porcelain production area.
