Sake cup -Celadon 3A by Yoshinori Izumi

The Harmony of Nature and Mastery

A One-of-a-Kind Celadon Creation

In the serene countryside of northern Kyoto, Japanese ceramic artist Yoshinori Izumi quietly devotes himself to the craft of handmade pottery in his studio nestled among the hills.

Using a distinctive glazing technique rooted in the traditions of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware, Izumi creates celadon pieces that are truly one of a kind—each infused with the natural elegance of Japan's ceramic heritage.

The unique patterns that emerge are shaped by subtle variations in kiln temperature and glaze composition, making each piece a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, never to be exactly replicated.

The flowing gradient of colors, achieved through carefully selected clay and glaze, offers moments of surprise and inspiration each time you use the vessel.

Its intricate textures and soft hues are the result of years of research and artistic exploration, making this celadon sake cup a small but powerful expression of Japanese ceramic tradition.

Owner's Comment

This celadon cup features a captivating texture reminiscent of delicate cracks in ice—a breathtaking effect created by the glaze itself.

The color is born from the firing process, not painted on, so it will never fade or deteriorate over time.

It comes in a wooden box hand-signed by the artist, making it a thoughtful gift for someone truly special.
