A Stunning Sake Cup for Memorable Moments

Experience the Timeless Artistry of Kyoto Pottery

 

From Nagata Studio in Kyoto's tranquil Kyotanba region, master potter Takuro Nagata, with over 50 years of experience, presents this exquisite handmade sake cup. It perfectly captures the elegance and craftsmanship of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery.

This sake cup is designed to elevate your sake-drinking experience, combining functionality with artistic beauty.

Each piece is meticulously crafted using the traditional "press mold" technique, where clay is skillfully shaped by hand. This labor-intensive process results in unique textures and a distinct handmade feel.

The preserved fingerprints and subtle irregularities enhance the charm and authenticity of each cup, making it a one-of-a-kind creation.

The porcelain is carefully selected for its refined translucence and durability. Fired at high temperatures, this sake cup is built to last while maintaining its elegant aesthetic.

Its timeless design makes it a versatile addition to any table or collection.

The bold wave motif, symbolizing eternity and good fortune, is hand-painted by Nagata’s wife, a former artisan in Kyoto’s renowned Yuzen dyeing tradition. Her brushstrokes in soft indigo hues add a sense of harmony and understated elegance.

This sake cup is a remarkable piece of Kyo-ware, perfect for collectors and pottery enthusiasts alike.
