Description from the seller
Shūsen (秀泉) Mino Ware Guinomi Set (Set of 5) – Rustic Beauty
This is a magnificent set of five handcrafted Guinomi (traditional Japanese sake cups) created by the potter Shūsen. Hailing from the renowned Mino Ware (Minoyaki) region in Gifu Prefecture, this collection beautifully embodies the rustic and versatile aesthetic for which Minoyaki is famous.
Exceptional Glaze Variety: The set features five distinct cups, each showcasing a unique and compelling glaze effect, including:
Rich, glossy iron-oxide brown.
Textured white/beige with speckles and finger marks (Hagi-style or Shino-style).
A warm, matte yellow-ochre.
A rustic, dual-toned glaze with contrasting flowing brown and mottled cream.
A subtle, matte white/cream glaze.
Collector's and User's Item: This set is perfect for both the discerning collector seeking authentic Japanese ceramic art and the sake enthusiast looking for unique, high-quality cups for daily enjoyment. The diverse textures and colors enhance any tasting experience.
Artisan Craftsmanship: Each cup is individually thrown and glazed, highlighting the unique hand of the artisan. The varied forms and kiln effects celebrate the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
Presentation: The set comes housed in its original, signed wooden box (kiri-bako), which is essential for preserving the value of traditional Japanese ceramics. The first set of photos also shows a wooden slatted holder for display (if applicable to the final set being sold).
A unique opportunity to acquire a versatile and historically rich set of authentic Mino Ware sake cups.
