Description from the seller
Item Description:
This is an exquisite Japanese sake cup (guinomi) featuring a beautiful white glaze with warm brown horizontal bands and delicate hand-painted botanical motifs.
The cup showcases traditional Japanese ceramic artistry with its elegant brush-stroked leaf designs in brown and subtle blue accents against a creamy white background.
The piece exhibits excellent craftsmanship with well-balanced proportions and a comfortable weight for hand-held use.
The interior reveals a natural terracotta clay body, while the exterior demonstrates skillful application of multiple glaze layers creating depth and visual interest.
The horizontal banding technique adds rhythmic movement to the form, complemented by the organic, freely painted botanical elements.
This guinomi represents the refined aesthetic of Japanese pottery tradition, perfect for enjoying sake or as a display piece for collectors of Japanese ceramics.
The warm earth tones and artistic decoration make it a versatile addition to any collection of tea ceremony utensils or sake ware.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
