Stone Path “Ishidatami” Sake Set (Blue / Brown) [石畳酒器セット（徳利1・ぐい呑2）]
Made to order in Okinawa. Please allow up to 8 weeks for delivery. See our Ryukyu Glass Policy.
Made by Gaja Yoshihide, an Okinawa Prefectural Master of Craft. In the early sixteenth century the Ryukyu court laid an official road through Shuri using local limestone. Parts of that stone path came through the war intact and people still walk it today. Gaja took its worn surface into glass: flat planes of color set against one another like paving, quiet from across the room and detailed in the hand.
The set pairs one carafe with two cups, which is how awamori is poured here: you fill for the other person and they fill for you. Sold as a set of three pieces.
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.

Gaja Yoshihide
Okinawa Prefectural Master of Craft
Gaja Yoshihide, an Okinawa Prefectural Master of Craft, works from the island's own ground and its old stories. Stone Path takes its name from the paved road laid in Shuri some five hundred years ago and still walked today. Celestial Robe draws on the island's feather-robe legend, silver leaf set on a soft, near-opaque white glass to suggest the robe itself. His pieces carry the layered time of Okinawa, and the light that moves quietly across it.
