AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A serene sake cup glazed in soft funsei celadon, with a delicate crackled surface that glows pale blue against a warm, unglazed clay foot. The contrast of refined glaze and earthy base gives this small vessel a quiet, contemplative presence in the hand. It comes with its original signed wooden box (tomobako).

Takuji Haraguchi is a Japanese ceramic artist born in Kyoto, trained at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramics Training School.
