Soup Cup Stripe Brown | Shigaraki Ware

Glossy touch

A soup cup with a deep amber color and a sharp striped pattern. The stripes that extend from the bottom to the mouth are impressive. You can feel the warmth in the glossy finish. The flow of the glaze and the shade of color vary slightly, giving it a tasteful look. It has a moderate weight and a sense of stability, so it can be used as a standard pottery.

As a leading role or a supporting role

The large size allows you to enjoy plenty of ingredients such as stew and pork soup. It's also great if you add browned rice cake and ozoni or shiruko. Place the egg on top of namul, kimchi, sweet and spicy seasoned meat, and the bibimbap bowl is ready. It has a good depth, so it can be used in a wide variety of ways.

About the style and atmosphere

The retro-inspired colors and stripes create a nice balance. Ame glaze, which is often used on earthenware pots, enhances drinks and food. Because each item is handmade, some items may look like the ones in the photo. Differences in color, uneven color, and sagging that occur by chance due to firing or hand-shaping create a unique texture unique to pottery. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same. ■You can also view Shigaraki pottery here. Please find your favorite. Shigaraki ware list page

Shigaraki ware

This ceramic is produced around Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan. The rustic texture of the earth is appealing, making full use of the richness of nature. Because they use strong china clay, they are good at making large pottery like raccoon dog ornaments.
