Guinomi (sake cups) in a "pale moon" glaze by Terunobu Hirata from February 2025.

Slight flared, on a small pedestal base and finished in a luminous blue glaze, washed over dark stoneware, these elegant vessels are joy to hold, behold and to drink from.

Perfect for sake, but also ideal for green or jasmine tea.

Each cup in this series of four is slightly different - each perfect on its own but also lovely as a set.

Terunobu Hirata arrived in Australia from Osaka, Japan in 1973.

Originally trained as a chef, he moved to pottery 25 years ago, working in stoneware and porcelain.

His designs are bold and contemporary with lustrous glazes. A nod to the past with organic style glazing partnered with perfectly proportioned shapes, Hirata’s work is a joy to live with.
