Hagi Yaki Yunomi Teacup
Hagi Yaki Yunomi Teacup
This was a one of a kind vessel. If you are looking for something similar, you can find more stunning pieces by Makino-san in his collection.
This yunomi teacup is a wonderful example of the simple beauty of Hagi yaki. Makino-san's white straw ash only covers the rim of the cup allowing the features of the clay to shine through. A single carved band wraps the vessel, creating an effortless grip when drinking. Makino-san dug the clay for this vessel in Toyokita-cho, Shimonoseki City.
This piece is a completely unique piece by Masanori Makino.
