27 Round Sake Cup (Teal)

The surface of this plump, rounded vessel features flowing waves. It makes you want to take a quick sip of sake.

The pale blue-green glaze retains traces of kiln variation. The granular texture of the surface contrasts with the smooth waves (鎬模様) along the rim and foot. This color allows you to enjoy a richer variety of expressions depending on how the light hits it compared to Enoki's previous works.

Diameter: Approx. 5.5 cm / Height: Approx. 4 cm

As this is an artist-made piece, there will be individual differences in glaze, color, and size.

【Handling Instructions】
This ceramic is porous, so its texture will change with the moisture and oil from food. As it may easily absorb color, we recommend avoiding dark-colored foods until the oil has fully settled into the piece. The more you use it, the more its character will develop, so we hope you will enjoy that transformation. If you have any concerns, please soak it in water for about 10 minutes before use. This will help prevent color transfer and odors to some extent, and the piece will gradually develop its character.
