Natural Tones of the Kiln. This pair of cups features a complex color palette achieved through prolonged wood-firing.

Complementary Pair: Each cup displays distinct yet harmonious firing marks, designed to be used together or individually. Direct Origin: Handmade in Bizen, Okayama, and shipped directly from the artisan's studio. Ideal for Gifting With their complementary yet distinct colorations, this set is a popular choice for meaningful gifts.
