About this craft

Karatsu-yaki (唐津焼) is a 500-year-old pottery tradition from Saga Prefecture, Kyushu. Prized for its rustic, natural glaze and wabi-sabi aesthetic—the Japanese philosophical appreciation of imperfection and impermanence. Used in tea ceremony and sake service, it represents a core pillar of Japanese ceramic heritage.

Description

Hand-made Karatsu pottery sake cup

Hand-wash gently with warm water. Do not use harsh scrubbers. Avoid dishwasher and microwave. Allow to air-dry. Crazing (fine surface cracks) is natural aging and does not affect function; it deepens the wabi-sabi character.
