This is a stylish sake cup (guinomi) by ceramic artist Hikaru Momoda. Momoda's works, which are used in Michelin three-star restaurants, sell out quickly and are difficult to obtain. The white slipware features a pattern reminiscent of a still life in modern art, with blue, pink, and green accents on a dark brown base. The surface has a unique rough texture, while the inside is glazed with a transparent glaze. The cup is marked with Momoda's "MO" backstamp. In addition to being a sake cup, its size and shape make it suitable for use as a teacup or soba choko, fitting comfortably in the hand and likely to be used for a long time. It has been displayed as a favorite and has no scratches or chips, but please understand that it is a home-stored item.
