Sake cup, red and gold painted, deer a

This sake cup depicts a deer, which is said to be a messenger of the gods and an auspicious animal. The dynamic deer painted in gold is gorgeous, and this piece allows you to feel the beauty of Japanese culture. This piece is a sake cup made on a potter's wheel using coarse Shigaraki clay, which is then carefully painted in red and gold and fired. The rim is flower-shaped and smooth to the touch. The red painting is not uniform, giving it a rich finish. Painting with gold and other colors is technically difficult, so the temperature and humidity are carefully controlled during the process. It can be used as a sake cup, soba cup, or small bowl to enjoy tea or coffee. This is a dish that will be appreciated as a gift or for entertaining guests. You can also enjoy watching the depth of the color increase as you use it.
