Omuro Cherry Ninshu Cup Pair

This is a pale pink piece inspired by the Omuro cherry blossoms of Ninna-ji Temple, a World Heritage site in Kyoto. It will fill you with the same happy feeling as when you see cherry blossoms in full bloom. The free cup is one size larger than a guest bowl and is a popular size for modern tea bowls. It features Ninshu's unique "finger-line" technique, making it easy to hold and beautiful in form. This versatile cup can be used for beer, highballs, coffee, or as a small serving dish. *To ensure the longevity of the product, please soak it in water overnight before first use upon arrival. ◯ Dishwasher safe ◯ Microwave safe × Not oven safe Size: 3.9 inches (10 cm) in diameter × 2.8 inches (7 cm) in height, 200ml (6.75 fl oz.) / 210g (0.46 lbs.) in weight *As all pieces are handmade, the product you receive will not be exactly the same as the product image.
