These five different Japanese-modern free cups are packed with the joy of adorning your dining table. Each cup has its own unique character: a cool, blue-gray cup with a dynamic depiction of large tree leaves; a cream-colored cup with a beautiful crackle pattern; and cups with playful lines and dots on a clean white background. With such a variety, you'll enjoy choosing "which one should I use today" depending on your mood, physical condition, or the type of drink. It's a luxury to use the crisp white cup for hot water in the morning and the sturdy leaf-patterned cup for shochu or hot water with shochu during your relaxing evening. The bottom of the cups is marked with a handwritten ceramic stamp that reads "Ma" or "Me," giving a sense of warmth from the artisan's handiwork. The slight distortions and color variations, which are not found in mass-produced items, fit comfortably in your hand and the design becomes more endearing the more you use it. They are also excellent for entertaining guests. Instead of matching sets, arranging different designs and letting your guests choose their favorite is a wonderful way to spark conversation. The two cups in the front have matching forms, so it's smart to use them as a pair for a couple while keeping the three in the back for guests or as spares. In addition to being used as teacups, they are versatile enough to be used as cups for coffee, tea, and desserts, or as small bowls for simmered dishes. They have a modern atmosphere that blends well with not only Japanese but also Western tables. One point: there is a small, brown dot-like mark on the inner rim of the white cup placed in the back left. It is not very noticeable when you actually hold it, and there are no problems with use, but please check the condition in the photo. This is a diverse set that makes your daily tea time and meal times a little more special. Please incorporate the unique texture and the joy of choosing handmade tableware into your daily life. #JapaneseTableware #FreeCup #ArtisanMade #Teacup #Modern #Handmade #CeramicStamp #ShochuCup #SmallBowl #AssortmentSet
