Pottery Raku glazes each cup in a layered blue — the color deepening at the base and lightening toward the lip where the glaze thins. Blue ceramic has been made in Japan for centuries, and this cup carries that tradition in a form made for daily use.
Pottery Raku is based in Nagasaki, Japan. Each cup is glazed by hand from start to finish — shaped, glazed, and fired individually, with the lip and surface given the same care as the overall form.
Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table.
- Formed and finished by hand. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker.

- Made in Nagasaki, Japan
- Artisan: Pottery Raku
- Size: 9.5 × 8.3 cm (3.7 × 3.3 in)
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.
