Kasyou Studio Kasyou Glass Calico Cat Sake Cup in with Kanazawa Gold Leaf Maki-e Twist-Shaped (Kaga Maki-e/Gift Box/Made Japan/High-Quality)

[Handmade Kaga Ochoko] This sake cup (ochoko) is meticulously crafted by artisans at the famous Kaga Maki-e lacquerware studio Yoshita Kasyou Studio. The gold leaf and calico cat design beautifully complement the glass, and because each one is handmade, each one has a slightly different expression, making it a truly unique piece. The large base enhances the golden brilliance. [Beautiful Maki-e and Kanazawa Gold Leaf] The base is made from high-quality Japanese soda glass. Though machine-made, each piece is subtly different, with a natural curl (twisted) shape, allowing your fingers to fit naturally in the indentations. Each piece is also subtly different, adding to the unique charm of each piece. The calico cat design is hand-painted using Kaga's traditional hand-painted Maki-e technique with natural lacquer, and generous application of Kanazawa gold leaf creates a luxurious finish. Suitable for both cold and hot sake. [A gift for someone special] When you pour sake into this glass, the entire vessel will shine with gold, creating a sense of elegance for the user. It is also a popular gift for expressing gratitude to loved ones, as a birthday gift, or for someone from another country. It comes in a decorative cloth-covered box.
