Here is a rare, white-glazed beer tumbler by modern Bizen master, Ryuichi Kakurezaki. The milky white glaze compliments the pale, finely textured, clay body and is set off by deep red scorch marks and subtle hidasuki ("fire cord") markings on the foot of the cup. The piece is shaped and carved with the precision and energy that makes Ryuichi Kakurezaki one of the modern masters of the centuries old Bizen potting tradition. The cup is from my personal collection of Japanese ceramics.&nb...sp;
The cup is in perfect condition and comes with original signed wooden box and stamped cloth. Though this style of cup is usually billed as a beer tumbler, note that it is small by North American beer mug standards. Could be used as a yunomi for green tea as well.
Happy to answer any additional questions.
