£60 per item

Produced by the Taniguchi Clay Factory in Ishikawa Prefecture, Hanasaka is a ceramic brand named after the high-quality raw material, Hanasaka pottery stone, extractable solely from a small number of quarries located in this area. Handcrafted using a style of pottery known as Kutani-yaki, this sake cup is part of Hanasaka’s Blanc series. Skilled craftspeople smooth off the surface of the cup resulting in a thin, white silhouette, giving the series its name ‘Blanc’, which means ‘white’ in French. After firing, the cup remains unglazed, resulting in a matte finish.

Not dishwasher, microwave or oven safe.

Cup size: H4 cm x Ø6 cm

Box size: L6.5 cm x W6.5 cm x H5 cm
