I bought these at a pottery fair: a set of 5 free cups with an irregular shape that gives them a warm impression. Perfect for serving ice cream or anmitsu, a Japanese sweet treat (* ꒳ * ) They're also great for oshiruko (sweet red bean soup) this time of year (o^^o) I haven't used them much because I felt they were too precious, but I'd like to pass them on to someone who will use them.
