Haiyūsai Beer Glass Set by Ikai Yūichi

Description

Kyoto native Ikai Yūichi has trained under the late Shimizu Uichi (1926-2004) who, in 1985, was awarded the title of Living National Treasure for his outstanding work in ceramic making. And it is from his sensei that Ikai learned the secrets to coaxing subtle hues and fluid effects from the oldest and most rudimentary of all glazes - hai, or ash.

These pottery glasses by Ikai Yūichi are done in two slightly different ash glazes.  They came from the kiln enrobed in soothing organic hues and a number of incidental details.  For beer, iced tea or green tea.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
