This sake cup features a softly glazed surface that reflects the natural character of Shigaraki ware. A light white and jade-toned glaze settles unevenly across the surface, creating granular textures while allowing hints of the clay’s natural color gradation to remain visible beneath. The firing process produces subtle variations and natural marks that give the cup a quiet sense of movement.

The tactile quality extends from the exterior to the interior, where the glaze meets a jade-like base, creating a balanced contrast between roughness and refinement. Compact and comfortable to hold, this cup is ideal for enjoying Japanese sake or other small servings.
