Cup - Large Soma-yaki by Asemi Co.

Ōbori Soma-Yaki is an over 400-year-old pottery style from Fukushima, Japan, famous for its distinctive cracked glaze. In 2011 the birthplace of Soma-Yaki was destroyed by a tsunami and the artisan has since moved to start anew, keeping this stunning and unique pottery style alive.

The cups are individually handcrafted meticulously using only 100% natural ingredients in the glaze.
