HOT ! Nagashi Tumbler

Shigemichi selected a unique type of hardened clay called \'Kurotsuchi\' from Shigaraki, one of Japan\'s oldest pottery-producing regions. Only the most experienced ceramic artisans have the skill to create extremely thin-walled vessels using this difficult-to-work clay where the properties change depending on the season. After the cup is painstakingly formed, fine adjustments are made by hand to perfect the shape of this magnificent cup. Shigemichi was inspired by \'Kokuto\', an ancient form of black pottery from the late Neolithic period, and the contrast of the hand-applied metallic glaze results in a masterful fusion of modern design and thousands of years of tradition.

Each tumbler measures 3.5 x 3.5 inches (90 x 90 mm), and holds 11.8 fluid ounces (350 ml) of liquid. As these are handcrafted, no two tumblers will be alike.
