Bizen sake cup

This Bizen sake cup is the work of Tamon Kaneshige, who continues to hone his skills on the rigorous path of pottery, following in the footsteps of his father, the late Susumu Kaneshige. This sake cup is part of Tamon’s signature series, characterized by a design that replicates his cylindrical tea cups in miniature. Reflecting his own words—"The Kaneshige family each pursue our own individual paths in pottery, and that is why our styles differ, even between parent and child"—the piece displays a spirited, youthful form that embodies his unique aesthetic. True to the Kaneshige family's dedication to the quality of their clay, the piece features a brilliant scarlet hue combined with a rich, melting shiso-purple glaze. Signed wooden box to follow (please allow some time for delivery).
