Description from the seller
Item description
This is a set of five small cups made of Mino ware, produced at Keizan-gama kiln (桂山窯), Japan.
Each cup features a distinct and beautifully expressive glaze, showcasing the rich variety and depth for which Mino ceramics are renowned.
The set includes five different glaze finishes, ranging from soft celadon tones to deep black, warm amber, milky white, and vivid reddish hues. The flowing glaze effects and subtle surface textures highlight the individuality of each piece while maintaining harmony as a set.
With their compact size, these cups are ideal for sake, tea, or tasting purposes, and they also make an attractive display collection that reflects the aesthetic diversity of traditional Japanese pottery.
