Shunzan Mori - Tsubaki Sake Cup

This exquisite sake vessel is a handcrafted masterpiece by Shunzan Mori San, a fourth-generation ceramic artist. He hails from a lineage of renowned Kiyomizu-ware potters, known as 'Shunzangama,' which draws inspiration from the artistic traditions of Kenzan Ogata during the Edo period. Under the guidance of Mr. Zenju Miyashita, Shunzan Mori honed his skills in the realm of fine pottery, solidifying his reputation to become one of Japan's most celebrated ceramists.

Fashioned from pristine white clay, this delicate vessel is adorned with meticulously hand-drawn 'tsubaki' (Camellia Japonica) motifs on both its interior and exterior surfaces. The level of detail and craftsmanship employed in this process is truly remarkable.

Although primarily designed for the enjoyment of sake, this piece transcends its functional purpose, standing as a work of art in its own right. Its presence alone can bring joy to any room in your household.
