White Faceted Tumbler (Kohiki)

This white faceted (mentori) tea cup / tumbler is beautifully handcrafted by Mashiko potter Ryuta Goto using local Mashiko clay. Kohiki refers to a type of pottery where a formed clay body is coated with a white slip, followed by a transparent glaze.

The slightly thicker application of slip gives the piece a plump, soft texture with gentle feel. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice many fine crazing patterns, which add depth and character to the piece, allowing it to develop a unique patina over time and enhancing its beauty.

The mentori design, with its faceted surface, lends a distinct character to the piece and beautifully showcases the artisanal craftsmanship behind it.

Measurements: Approx. φ8cm x 8cm / 3.15" x 3.15"
Material Type: Ceramic
Designed and handcrafted in Mashiko, Japan

Each piece is unique, with slight variations in color, shape, and size. These differences are a hallmark of handmade craftsmanship, adding to the charm and character of the cup. We hope you enjoy these subtle, distinctive qualities that make each piece special.
