This is a sake cup set by the 11th generation Man'emon. The first generation Man'emon was recognized as the Nabeshima clan kiln in Kansei 8 (1796). The 7th and 8th generation Man'emons were honored with numerous accolades. In recent years, with the increasing demand for Arita-yaki, and amidst the mass production through mechanization, the Man'emon kiln has, for over two hundred years since its establishment, upheld the handmade and hand-painted traditions that are the origin of Arita-yaki, completing the beauty of proud art within the earth and fire. The luxurious and brilliant works of Man'emon, with their sometsuke (blue and white) and akae (red overglaze) designs, are highly praised by many enthusiasts.
