These sake cups, or "ochoko," are crafted from clay mixed with pigments traditionally used in Japanese paintings. Small, thin, and light, they are endearing and charming, yet their colors and keshiki (landscape) impart an elegant quality.
Although made from the same clay, each cup offers a unique visual experience. One features a refined, mature blue tone with a glossy earthy finish that resembles a touch of gold. The other presents a subtly restrained luster with a striking contrast between blue and brown, showcasing an indescribable beauty that evokes a calming atmosphere.
These cups make a delightful pair with their contrasting expressions, enhancing the overall enjoyment. They are an excellent choice for a thoughtful gift.
