Ryuka Sake Cup [琉花 御猪口]
Ryuka means Ryukyu flower. Gold leaf and colored glass draw the pattern across the surface, and the piece carries more occasion than an ordinary vessel does. It was designed with New Year tables in mind, though it does not need the calendar to earn its place.
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.
