Shibaoka Yuta Cup 100 ml

Stoneware

Dimensions: 8.8 (H) x 5 cm (W)

This cup by Shibaoka Yuta is a distinctive example of traditional Bizen pottery. Created through wood firing, it features an expressive surface with contrasting dark and reddish areas (hi-iro), produced by the direct interplay of flame and clay. The colors appear natural and understated, yet at the same time full of tension and vitality.

The elongated, slightly irregular shape makes the cup a small eye-catcher – unconventional, yet harmonious. Its asymmetry and simplicity reflect the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. The rustic character of the clay and the traces of fire lend the piece a quiet depth.

This piece comes with a signed wooden box (tomobako).
