Bizen ware sake cup

This is a new Bizen sake cup by Go Kaneshige, marking a new chapter in his career following the completion of his anagama kiln in Kugui. This piece was fired in his newly designed kiln, where it was thoroughly exposed to smoke. The subtly greenish natural glaze, characteristic of Go-sensei's work, perfectly complements the well-fired, light brown clay body.
