A Delightful Sake Cup for Memorable Moments

Celebrate the Artistry of Kyoto Pottery

 

From Nagata Studio in Kyoto’s serene Kyotanba region, master potter Takuro Nagata offers this exquisite handmade sake cup. With over 50 years of expertise, he combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance.

This sake cup is the perfect blend of function and art, making every sip a cherished experience.

Each piece is carefully handcrafted using the traditional "press mold" technique, where clay is skillfully shaped by hand. This labor-intensive method creates unique textures and a handmade charm that sets each cup apart.

The subtle irregularities and preserved fingerprints highlight the artistry behind every cup, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

The porcelain material is selected for its refined translucence and durability. Fired to perfection, this sake cup is built to last while maintaining its timeless beauty.

This piece is both functional and decorative, making it an elegant addition to any table or collection.

The hand-painted Susuki grass design, a symbol of autumn serenity, is created by Nagata’s wife, a former artisan in Kyoto’s renowned Yuzen dyeing tradition. Her delicate brushwork in soft indigo tones brings a sense of understated elegance and harmony.

This sake cup is a testament to the craftsmanship and beauty of Kyo-ware, making it a must-have for pottery enthusiasts and collectors.
