Description

This guinomi sake cup, crafted by Ri Sanpei Kiln, the pioneers of Arita ware, features an elegant chestnut design. Its size is ideally suited for enjoying Japanese sake, providing a comfortable grip for sipping. Beyond its use as a sake cup, this versatile piece can also serve beautifully as a small tea cup or a condiment holder.

Known as kachi-guri, this chestnut motif incorporates the word kachi, meaning "victory." This motif symbolizes success in competitions, career growth and recovery from illness.

Made from 100% Izumiyama porcelain ore, the clay used at Ri Sanpei Kiln recreates the charm of early Imari ware. The soft hues of the natural glaze and blue underglaze express a simple, rustic beauty.

In the early 17th century, Korean craftsman Yi Sam-pyeong, known as Ri Sanpei in Japanese, discovered porcelain ore in Izumiyama, Arita, leading to the creation of Japan's oldest porcelain, Arita ware. Today, the 14th-generation Yi Sam-pyeong continues this legacy, crafting pieces with a unique style of simplicity with a wabi-sabi aesthetic.

Please note that there may be slight differences as all pieces are formed by potter's wheel and hand-painted.
