These sake cups feature Matsumoto’s signature ash glaze and zaffer, with selected areas left unglazed to preserve the tactile presence of Shigaraki clay. The contrast between glazed and raw surfaces highlights the artist’s careful control of balance and proportion.

Compact and comfortable to hold, they are ideal for enjoying small sips of sake and pair naturally with Matsumoto’s pitchers.

 

Artist

Tomohiro Matsumoto is a Japanese potter working with Shigaraki clay, continuing a family tradition that spans over 150 years. As a fifth-generation potter, he is known for his bold approach to glaze and color. He introduces vivid red tones that contrast with Shigaraki’s traditional hi-iro (緋色) glaze. Today, his work explores a wider range of glazes and firing methods, using materials such as wood ash to create durable, expressive surfaces shaped by fire.

Please avoid using any items from the Signature Collections or pieces that include metal elements (such as gold or silver accents, or Kintsugi repairs involving metal) as they may spark or cause a fire.
