{"product_id":"020-052aa","title":"Drinkware, Gourd-shaped sake set, Ruri suiteki crystal glaze, Sake bottle and sake cup - Shin-emon Kiln, Arita ware, Ceramics","description":"A sake flask and cup set from Shin-emon Kiln. The classic gourd-shaped flask is finished with a crystalline glaze that evokes the depths of the sea. The appearance of the crystals varies from piece to piece, depending on when the piece is made and the conditions in the kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBleu de roi, or \"king's blue,\" is a deep blue made with cobalt oxide pigment. It was produced at the royal manufactory established in Sèvres, between Paris and Versailles, with funding from Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour, and others. At the time, it was a restricted color that others were not permitted to use. Crystalline glazing is a technique that creates beautiful crystal patterns within the glaze. Shin-emon Kiln has mastered this technique, overcoming its technical challenges to create works of art suitable for everyday use. Sprayed with blue across the entire surface, the crystals of Ruri Suiteki evoke the profound blue of the sea. When tea or sake is poured in, they shimmer with a mysterious light, suggesting the beauty and elegance of gemstones.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe soft curves of the gourd shape sit comfortably in the hand, bringing a quiet elegance to sake gatherings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"30%\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\"\u003eSake bottle：Φ98×H120（mm）\u003cbr\u003e\nSake cup：Φ59×H45（mm）\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"30%\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\"\u003e372g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"30%\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\"\u003ePorcelain clay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"30%\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\"\u003eWooden box, profile, cloth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"30%\"\u003eProduction area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\"\u003eSaga Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"30%\"\u003eHandling precautions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\"\u003e・Gently hand-wash with a soft sponge.\u003cbr\u003e\n・Avoid using a dishwasher or dish dryer.\u003cbr\u003e\n・Avoid sudden temperature changes.\u003cbr\u003e\n・To protect the glaze, avoid using a microwave.\u003cbr\u003e\n・As each piece is handmade, there may be slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and size.
