Hanazume free Cup Red - Crafted By Kikaku Pottery Medium Plate Underglaze painting at this scaleGlazed and fired by hand, this cup holds the quiet character of something made individually not uniform, not repeated exactly, but consistent in weight and presence. It is the kind of piece that improves with use. Kikaku Pottery forms and glazes each cup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a cup that carries the marks of its making never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character.
