Celestial Robe Sake Cup [美ら舞ぐい呑み]
Made by Gaja Yoshihide, an Okinawa Prefectural Master of Craft. Okinawa has its own telling of the heavenly robe legend, in which a celestial woman lifts away from the earth. Gaja built this series from gyoku, a translucent white glass, layered with silver leaf.
A small cup that settles into the palm, sized for awamori poured a little at a time.
Every piece is made by hand, so size, color, pattern and the way the bubbles sit will differ from one to the next. Not heatproof. Keep it out of the dishwasher, the drying cabinet and the freezer.
