A set of two unused, antique-style mugs by Hinako Hirano, a popular ceramic artist known for her limited production. These mugs have a sophisticated, slightly metallic, grayish dark green color, reminiscent of French antiques. They are truly exquisite pieces. I love the subtle variations and drips in the glaze, which create different appearances depending on the viewing angle. The contrast between the calm, antique-like color on the outside and the beautiful, deep-sea-like color on the inside is irresistible. Hirano Hinako's works are often featured in magazines, but due to her limited production, they are extremely difficult to obtain. These cups are rare finds that I finally managed to purchase. I fell in love with them at an exhibition. I have been using another set of the same design, which I bought at the same time, and these two are unused, so I am selling them to organize my collection. They are especially beautiful with coffee or cocoa, and I enjoy drinking from them. They also hold the perfect amount of soup and keep it warm, so I use them frequently. The handle is slender and delicate, but the slightly wider base provides stability, making them very durable. Personally, I consider them to be cups I will use for a lifetime. Size (approximate measurements, please allow for some error): Top diameter: approx. 7.5cm Bottom diameter: approx. 8.5cm Height: approx. 8.5cm The color variations seen on the bottom are not scratches or chipped glaze, but rather the result of glaze unevenness and firing marks, which are characteristic of Hirano's style. They are shown in the last two images. There are no scratches or chips; they are in beautiful condition. They are new and unused, having only been opened to take these photos, and they are still in their original packaging. Please understand that they have been stored at home. Also, please purchase only if you understand the characteristics of handmade pottery, such as slight warps, glaze variations, stone bursts, and pinholes, which are unique to each piece.
