Shoebill Soup Cup

This soup cup features the striking presence of the shoebill, rendered in a palette of gentle, muted tones across the interior base and exterior side of the cup using the technique of Japanese paper dyeing, or washi-zome. Because each bird is meticulously painted by hand, every piece possesses a slightly different expression, a unique charm that ensures your cup is the only one of its kind in the world.

The artistry is elevated by delicate gold stippling on the bird’s head, torso, and feet. These subtle metallic accents catch the light with a soft shimmer, lending a refined brilliance to the whimsical illustration.

Designed with a keen eye for the user’s experience, the cup is crafted with a slender profile that offers a remarkably smooth, pleasant feel against the lips. The handle is shaped to sit naturally against the fingers, providing a secure and balanced grip even when the vessel is full.

We invite you to pair this piece with others from the collection. Transforming your table into a lively gathering place for these charismatic birds adds a sense of spirited ceremony to every meal.
