Graceful Coffee Cup

This coffee cup features a glossy white porcelain adorned with an elegantly crafted crown cherry blossom. The gently curved and beautiful design of the coffee cup showcases the dense depiction of cherry blossoms, and the blank space beauty with a simple saucer adorned with scattered petals enhances each other's charm. The saucer is intentionally made without a depression, allowing it to be used individually for serving sweets or fruits. The cup has a convenient size of about 5 sun (Japanese measurement unit).

Adding the Essence of Artistic Beauty to Arita Ware

The Arita ware coffee cup, with a handle that gracefully draws you in, has a light and airy finish that makes you almost forget you're holding it. The surface of the finely crafted white porcelain feels as soft as silk. With the deep indigo underglaze and carefully considered artistic design, this piece can be considered the ultimate coffee cup, suitable for use in a microwave and dishwasher, embodying the beauty of practicality.

Beautiful Contrast of Indigo and White

This coffee cup achieves a stunning collaboration between indigo and white. The technique called "sometsuke" involves using cobalt to breathe life into the white porcelain with a single blue color. Despite being painted with only blue and white, the cherry blossoms are realistically depicted through variations in color intensity, offering a beautiful contrast of two colors. This design, particularly popular at the Sojiro kiln, allows you to enjoy the beautiful contrast of two colors.

Outstanding Functionality

The cup is made from the highest quality natural pottery stone from Amakusa, Kyushu. Fired at an extremely high temperature of 1300 degrees, the Arita ware coffee cup has a soft touch like silk, is hard and non-absorbent, making it easy to clean as dirt does not easily adhere. There is no earthy odor typical of ceramics, allowing you to fully enjoy the aroma of your beverage. It is microwave and dishwasher safe, and excels in heat retention and cooling. Suitable for various occasions regardless of generation or age.
