Straight Goblet, Manganese No.2 — Okinawa

The "goblet, straight, manganese" from "nakamurakenoshigoto", which makes pottery in Nanjo, Okinawa — a piece of chic, quiet presence.
A cup marked by the deep, metallic texture only a manganese glaze gives, and an exquisite gradation of bronze and black. The depth of flavour of an antique metal piece and the refined line of a straight form rising cleanly upward come into fine harmony.
A goblet with a stem brings height to the table setting and creates a special space simply by being set down. The settled dark-toned glaze beautifully brings out the colour of red wine poured into it, of amber whisky, or of a craft beer. It also shows stylishly as a dessert or snack cup for ice cream, seasonal fruit or nuts.
A special piece that turns the evening drink or an hour with guests into something distinctly more grown-up and refined.
