Lotus | Onta Ware Brown Glaze Cup

US$189.00

This Onta ware sake cup is a great example of how unique sake cups can be. With rich brown and persimmon glazed hues, the beautifully rounded top appears to rest peacefully in a lotus flower.

Like green tea during ceremonies, sake can be served in well-chosen vessels to appreciate its taste in a mindful way and to create a memorable experience which respects the knowledge and labor of the craftsmen who produced it.

This cup sits beautifully on a shelf or cabinet on its own or as a decorative ensemble with other maison tombo curated sake cups. Taken all together, they represent the five basic elements: green for wood symbolising vitality, brown/red for fire symbolising energy, yellow for earth symbolising stability, white for metal symbolising clarity and blue for water symbolising calm. The shape, design and glaze of each cup evoke different moods inviting contemplation.

Ideal for sake, sake cups are also suited for enjoying tea. Each cup is delivered in a beautiful and protective wooden box with hand-brushed calligraphy.
