Finished in a warm amber glaze, this cup shifts in tone as the light changes — deepening in shadow, brightening where the glaze thins toward the rim. The color is the product of kiln temperature and time, not pigment.
Kiyohide Yokoi forms and glazing each cup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a cup that carries the marks of its making — never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character.
Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table.

Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
・Handmade — One by One
Every piece from Japan Classic is formed and fired entirely by hand, in small quantities, one at a time. No two are ever exactly alike.
These handcrafted works carry slight variations in shape, weight, and surface, bearing the subtle marks of true craftsmanship rather than mass production.
・Living Glaze
On glazed pieces, you will find fine crackle patterns—known in Japan as kannyu (貫入)—naturally created as the glaze cools after firing.
This delicate finish evolves with time, reflecting the quiet beauty found in wabi-sabi ceramics.
・Elegance
Inspired by Japan’s timeless aesthetic, every piece by Japan Classic blends tradition with modern versatility.
Whether for rice, soups, or shared plates, these refined tablewares are designed for everyday beauty, maintaining their grace in both Eastern and Western settings.
