Marbled porcelain clay in lavender and black in wavelike scales form this sake set by Kusaba Yuji enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Nerito Kuro Namimon Shuki Soroi (Matching Sake set of Marbled Black Clay). This is absolutely perfect for summer sake, the shape is open allowing quick pours and the high fired clay keeps cool, passing on the chill through your fingers as you pour. The cup is 7 cm diameter, 5.5 cm tall (just more htan 2 inches), the Katakuchi 8.7 cm diameter, 9.5 cm (just less than 4 inches) tall. Both are in excellent condition, new from the artist.
