    This is one of a set of six sake cups, all about 2.5" high x 2.5" widest diameter, and signed on the lower edge. They came in a box but I have not received them yet. Hopefully, the box will have some writing on it.

    I am guessing that these cups are a contemporary homage to Sumida Gawa pottery which was featured in a recent post on CW:

      Thanks for your comments, Jenni! This is a modern take on an old type of Japanese pottery that covered the pottery with figures.

      Thanks for your comments, Scott! I like them. Not sure how practical they are to use... But purty, for sure...

      Thanks for checking out my sake cups, dav2no1, Tilted, Reise, Vynil33rpm, Kevin, Leelani, Merrill33, fortapache, jscott0363 and Jenni!
