Sake Cup Cloud | Blue Hand-Glazed in Wooden Gift Box

US$189.00

This cup was produced on the Japanese island of Kyushu according to ancient techniques dating back to the 15th century when Korean potters brought new techniques such as kiln designs and ash-glazing. 

Japanese people drink the national alcohol ‘Nihonshu’ (commonly called Sake in English) in small cups. 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 those who produced it. 

Sake, made from fermented rice, took a few hundred years to develop after rice was first cultivated in Japan over 2000 years ago. The earliest form was called kuchikami-zake. The grains of rice would be chewed and spat into a vat. Mixed together with enzymes from the human saliva and natural yeast, it would become alcohol. Today Sake is produced both industrially and artisanally across Japan. 

Hand glazed in a delicate pattern, this visually pleasing cup was made in the village of Onta where a few potters work together as a community creating objects both for daily use and artistic purposes. Onta pottery has been designated an Intangible Cultural Property of Japan meaning that potters continue to work according to traditional methods and perpetuate important old knowledge and savoir-faire. 

Delivered in a beautiful wooden box with hand-brushed calligraphy.
