Tall Japanese Cups, Assorted Glazes – Set of 5

Five tall cups, five different glazes, for water, tea or sake.

Black with blue runs, green on engraved clay, white crossed by a black stroke, blue-green and beige split in two, brick red: each cup has its own character.

Their slightly flared shape sits well in the hand. Without handles, as Japanese tradition has it, they are held in both hands.

At 8.5 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, they suit hot and cold drinks alike: tea, water, juice or sake.

Together, they make a mismatched yet harmonious set, and the contrast of the glazes lets everyone recognise their cup.
