Small, sweet sake cups in a soft white kohiki glaze by Terunobu Hirata.

Carved into Terunobu's signature, octagonal facets and bathed in a soft white glaze, with just a hint of pale orange, they are both geometric and organic at the same time. A joy to hold and to drink from.

Each cup in this series of five is slightly different - each perfect on its own but also lovely as a set of two, three or five.

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.
