Sake cup finished in a softly flowing turquoise glaze characteristic of Agano ware.
An elegant cup, finely and thinly thrown with exceptional control on the wheel, resulting in a remarkably light presence in the hand.
The glaze landscape inside the cup is particularly striking, unfolding like a small painting formed naturally in the kiln.
Beautiful piece.
