🎎 Japanese Kutani Ceramic Guinomi Sake Cup – Black Glaze with Red Accents – Japan Antique Roadshow
🎎 This exquisite guinomi (ぐい呑み) sake cup is a fine example of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship from Kutani (九谷焼), a region renowned for its artistry in porcelain and pottery. Likely dating from the mid-Showa period (昭和時代, 1926–1989), this small sake vessel features a striking black glaze highlighted with muted red dots, evoking a quiet elegance. The interior showcases a beautiful crackle glaze (貫入, kan’nyū), adding depth and texture that reflects light softly.

The piece is unchipped and uncracked, with only the gentle signs of age that enhance its character. The cup weighs 60 grams and measures approximately 4.2 cm in height, 3.1 cm across the base, and 3.3 cm across the lip—its subtle flare at the rim giving it a refined silhouette.
Ideal for collectors of mingei (民芸, folk craft), enthusiasts of traditional Japanese dining ware, or anyone seeking a small, beautiful reminder of Japanese daily life.
Curated with care in Shizuoka City by Kurt Bell, this guinomi offers a tactile connection to Japan’s enduring love of craftsmanship, hospitality, and understated beauty.
Embark with Kurt, an American journeyman born in 1964, as he explores Japan’s cultural and spiritual legacy through artifacts both ordinary and extraordinary. With Stoic reflection and insights from his memoir Going Alone, each object becomes a gateway to story, memory, and The Good Life. 🌄📚🎎
