This cup was created by skilled artisans in Arita, Japan, who dedicated themselves to answering the question, “What is the ultimate shochu glass?” The delicate blue lines resemble fine silk threads, giving the piece an elegant and refined appearance. Shochu is a traditional Japanese distilled spirit made from ingredients such as rice, barley, or sweet potatoes. It is known for its smooth texture and deep aroma, enjoyed either with cold water, hot water, or straight. This glass enhances the fragrance and provides a smoother drinking experience. It can also be used for beer, tea, or even coffee, making it versatile for both everyday use and special occasions.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
