About the work
A delicate sake cup crafted by Uraguchi Masayuki, showcasing the ethereal "Moon
White" celadon glaze. The vessel features a thin-walled body layered with a thick, meticulously applied glaze, resulting in a unique, heavy tone that enhances its refined, crystalline texture. The double craquelure finish catches and reflects light, embodying a celestial quality. This sake cup comes complete with a tomobako (wooden box) signed by the artist, cloth, and a leaflet with information about the artist.

Footnote
Uraguchi Masayuki, born in 1964 in Tokyo, found his inspiration during his studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts, where a National Treasure celadon vase sparked his lifelong passion for celadon glazing. He trained under Miura Koheiji, later refining his craft through extensive personal research, which included studying ancient Chinese ceramics firsthand. His work stands out for its innovative glazes and attention to detail, blending traditional influences with his distinctive, modern interpretation.
