If you are familiar with the work of Hiramatsu Ryoma you know that he creates very unconventional ceramics inspired by forms found in nature. Here we have a set of sake cups he describes as “Ou-tekko” (pyrite) and “Ammonite” (same in English - a kind of sea fossil). Part of a series he has been developing, the ancient Ammonite fossil has been the inspiration behind his latest creations. Pyrite, meanwhile refers to the metallic patterning on the outer surface of the clay body. Truly unique pieces to come out of the mind of this young Japanese artist.

In excellent condition, the two sake cups are housed in a custom made box (signed by Hiramatsu) and they are each approximately 7-8cm wide by 4.5cm tall. We have listed a sake set with katakuchi and two sake cups so if you like you could combine this to make a set of 4 cups with a sake pourer. Free shipping if purchased as a set, shipping costs apply if purchased separate from the katakuchi set.
