Elegant Gilded White Arabesque Sakazuki Flat Sake Cup - Traditional Japanese Ceramic Drinking Vessel for Sake, Tea & Cocktails - Perfect for Home Dining, Gift Giving & Cultural Celebrations

Product Description

This Japanese Flat Sake cup is created by focusing on easy-to-use and beautiful shapes. It is handcrafted by Kinzan Kiln and especially excels in Kinsai, one of the famous Kutani ware's glazing technique with a gold leaf.

This "Shugu" series is made in collaboration with a product designer Moritaka Yoshida, who used the method to make a model and verify the shape of each item on a real scale, and then discuss it with the craftsmen who make the porcelain base over and over again.

It used both techniques of kinmori ( heaping up gold paint ) and shiromori, heaping up white paint in a convex shape. By painting delicate arabesque patterns in the technique, it is possible to express the subtle contrast between the white color of the base color and the fine pattern.

This delicate pattern adds a special touch and makes it a truly special one. This elegant and classy piece is perfect for special occasions and also for any special gift.
