Bizen Sake Cup

This is a new Bizen sake cup by Go Kaneshige, who established his kiln in Kukui and continues his research and pottery making. This piece emphasizes the "haikaburi" (ash-covered) effect, having been fired while buried in ash inside the kiln. Amidst the overall gray of the ash-covered surface, the yellow "goma" (sesame glaze) and slight glimpses of the natural clay texture stand out. His earnest style, inherited from his father Michiaki Kaneshige, is also highly commendable. Signed wooden box to be provided later (please allow some time for shipment)
