Turkish Blue Shigaraki Cup
Aichi prefecture
A beautiful blend of cultures
Some of the most striking crafts are the result of cultural exchange. The renowned pottery techniques of Shigaraki, Japan, take on a Turkish blue glaze to create this eye-catching cup. The striations wrapping around the cup clearly indicate this vessel was handcrafted, and the transition from a bright blue exterior to a sand-colored interior gives it an even more intriguing appearance. Use it to drink your favorite hot and cold beverages for any occasion!
