Item description
This is a refined set of five Shino-style guinomi sake cups produced by Mayama Kiln (真山窯), a well-regarded kiln from the Mino ware tradition of Japan.
The set showcases five distinct color variations of Shino glaze, ranging from deep charcoal and soft gray to warm beige, amber, and reddish-brown tones.
