Sunset long cup | Made by the Nagakura family. Japanese small-style ware

Koito-yaki has been around since the Edo period, and the basic glaze used is a traditional brown glaze with a slightly rough texture called Irabo glaze. This color and texture are due to the kiln owners using raw materials from nature, such as the ashes of burned plants and red clay from all over Hida, and combining them with traditional pigments. After firing, the clay is solid and the glaze is dense, making it difficult for food smells to adhere to it. Due to the characteristics of the glaze, it is a little rough when used for the first time, but as the number of uses increases, the glaze will gradually become smooth and warm, and the color will change slightly. ༗ This work is like the ever-changing flow of time, silently waiting to meet each poem. At this time, the tea and wine appear to be delicate and graceful, allowing oneself to drink in all the ups and downs of life with the depth of a long cup in the sunset. . 𓂑𓎹 Product Specifications ◊ Dimensions: 7.4 cm diameter x 10.5 cm height ( ± 0.3 ) ◊ Material: Ceramic ◊ Made in: Japan 𓂑𓎹 About Handmade Pottery ◊ During the firing process, the glaze will produce glaze cracks (crazing), pores, particles, and stains.
