Cup - Large Matsushiro-yaki by Asemi Co.
$62.00
These unique wood-fired Matsushiro-yaki cups are a perfect and unique combination of timeless design and the oldest form of Japanese pottery.
Handcrafted by artisan Tomoki Miyazaki in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture, Japan, each piece features a stunning gradient of blues, greens, and whites - all captured within thick glaze drips that ensure that each and every piece is one-of-a-kind. The glazes themselves are colored using natural materials, like copper and straw ash. During the firing process, these materials react with the iron-rich red clay of the cup itself, creating the signature green-blue pigmentation of the Matsushiro-yaki style.
NOTE: Each cup is unique due to the natural variation of the firing process; the one you receive will look similar to photos but may have some differences. Please contact us if you'd like to see photos of the individual cups in stock.
