Beautiful set of two Tanba-yaki (丹波焼) sake cups from the traditional Rikkou-yaki (立杭焼) kiln in Tanba, Kyoto. Tanba-yaki is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, known for its natural clay textures, warm earthy tones, and understated elegance.
These cups feature a refined brown glaze with a soft natural luster, highlighting the rustic simplicity typical of classic Tanba ware. A rare vintage set, complete with the original information leaflet and box—items like this are not often seen today. A wonderful set for collectors of Japanese pottery, tea and sake enthusiasts, or those who appreciate timeless handmade ceramics.
