#Choko for Sale #Bizen Ware for Sale This is a set of two choko (small sake cups) that showcase the original charm of Bizen ware, fired without any glaze. The texture of the clay when held in your hand, the accidental patterns created in the kiln (kiln transformation), and the **mark (engraving)** subtly carved on the bottom tell the story and value of the work. Beauty of Unglazed: The true essence of Bizen ware is its unglazed, fired finish. The rustic texture that directly conveys the feel of the clay and the natural gradation created by ash and flames in the kiln are its appeal. Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic: The deep, reddish-brown color created by the iron-rich clay when fired, and the increasing luster (Bizen-dama) with use, make your drinking time special. Engraving on the Foot: The bottom of one choko has an **engraving (mark)** indicating the artist or kiln. From this engraving, you can feel the maker's passion for this work. Good Hand Feel: Hand-shaped on a potter's wheel, it has an exquisite size that fits perfectly in your hand. It is perfect for Japanese sake or shochu. Height: Approximately 3.8cm Diameter: Approximately 5.3cm - 5.7cm (Due to being handmade, the shape and size vary slightly) (※Please note that there may be slight errors due to amateur measurements.) This item has been carefully stored. There are no noticeable scratches or chips, but we ask that you purchase it if you can appreciate the kiln transformation unique to Bizen ware, the unevenness created during firing, and the unevenness of the clay as "scenery." #BizenWare #Choko #SakeCup #SakeVessel #Unglazed #Yakishime #Engraving #Mark #ArtistMade #JapaneseSake #OldBizen #Pottery #Ceramics #WabiSabi #KilnTransformation Thank you for viewing.
