All Oribe glaze Cup

Seto Akazu Ware Full Oribe Glaze Rock Cup – Handcrafted at Rokubei Kiln
This handcrafted rock cup is a stunning example of Seto Akazu ware (瀬戸赤津焼), created at the esteemed Rokubei Kiln in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Made from traditional Setoyaki (瀬戸焼) earthenware and shaped by hand on a potter’s wheel, the piece reflects over 400 years of Japanese ceramic heritage.
Finished entirely in a rich, glossy Oribe glaze (織部釉), this cup features deep green tones that pool beautifully in its natural contours, creating striking variations in depth and color. The full Oribe glaze gives it a bold, contemporary feel while remaining rooted in tradition. The glaze is named after Furuta Oribe, a tea master known for his innovative aesthetic, and is prized for its vivid green hue and glassy sheen.
With its thick ceramic body and low, stable shape, this rock cup is perfect for serving drinks over ice. Functional yet artistic, it is designed with subtle touches such as the tactile rokuro-me (finger marks from the potter’s wheel) and a gentle ekubo (dimple) in the body to enhance grip and comfort when held.
Seto Akazu ware from the Akazu area is recognized as a certified Traditional Japanese Craft, and the Rokubei Kiln is among its most distinguished studios—known for producing matcha bowls for the Japan Pavilion at Expo Milano and commemorative pieces for the Ise-Shima G7 Summit.
A perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, this Full Oribe Glaze Rock Cup adds depth, elegance, and authenticity to your drinkware collection.
