The Hasami-yaki cup series '“Ash & Ember” offers exceptional versatility with five distinct sizes. Ranging from a petite 60ml—perfect for an espresso shot or sake—up to a generous 360ml for your daily coffee or tea, there is a size tailored for every need and occasion.
These high-quality porcelain cups are meticulously crafted in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture, continuing a rich pottery tradition that spans over 400 years.
Contemporary folk craft cups with an amazing subtle metallic gloss & unique “Tobikanna“ details.
The black metallic finish of our Koishiwara-yaki cup is achieved through a unique glaze developed by our Koishiwara Artisan. He mixes iron powder to the rice straw ash that he uses as the glaze.
The distinct pattern on our cups is done with a technique called “Tobikanna.” The artisan uses a metal tool to apply chatter markings on the half-dry surface of the cup, while it is turning on the potter’s wheel. True to its name the “jumping iron” leaves the typical Koishiwara-Yaki markings behind.
The first of our Hasami Special Edition Line, which will contain limited batches of Hasami cups with experimental glazes.
Looking for something really special?
In this release, half of the cup was dipped into dark bronze shaded glaze, which changes appearance depending on the light. The bottom half of the cup is left unglazed, so you get even more of the amazingly smooth haptic of raw porcelain.
