Brand new, and displayed in a sideboard for a long time. These ceramic cups are easy to hold and fit comfortably in your hand. They make beer foam creamier. They're also great for enjoying sake and wine. They have good temperature retention. They have a handmade feel and could also be used as a vase for a single flower. I don't have the knowledge to decipher the markings on the bottom. Height: 13cm, 2 pieces One is blackish and the other is brownish.
