Kosen Nabeshima ware celadon Sake bottle and Cup

Description

Japanese celadon cup made by Kosen pottery using traditional Nabeshima ware methods. Nabeshima ware is one of the finest Japanese forms of pottery, originating from Imari in Saga, Japan. The glazing is made of natural celadon stones, using a method that has been passed down from generation to generation over 350 years in the Okawachi area.

Nabeshima ware was not a commercial product for export or local use, but made only for the feudal ruler under strict supervision for the Nabeshima family during the Edo period. Kosen is one of the descendants of 31 artisans who started Nabeshima ware in 1675. They have been keeping and elevating the method, even today for representing the crafts as the beauty of everyday things.
