Sansuke ware - Cup (3) - Sake cups - Ceramic - Sansuke Ware

A fine set of three Sansuke ware sake cups (guinomi) featuring a charming frog (kaeru) motif, a symbol of good fortune and safe return in Japanese culture. This set represents traditional Japanese ceramic craftsmanship and is an excellent example of Showa-period folk pottery (Mingei). The cups are handcrafted stoneware, each individually shaped and glazed, resulting in subtle variations that highlight their artisanal character. One cup features a raised frog decoration, while the other two display complementary forms, creating a harmonious set. The set comes complete with its original wooden storage box, original wrapping cloth, and original descriptive paper, confirming its authenticity and careful preservation. The pieces are unused and have been stored for many years in their original packaging. This is a highly collectible and decorative set, ideal for use, display, or as an addition to a serious collection of Japanese ceramics or sake ware. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. The shipping method may vary depending on the item price and size. Sometimes Customs or the delivery company in your country may contact you by phone or email for clearance. Please make sure you are available to respond. If not, the parcel may be returned to me, and reshipping will cost more than twice the original shipping fee. I appreciate your cooperation.
