Masayoshi Nakagawa | White Cork Beveled Coffee Cup

A coffee cup with a soft texture, just like cork

This is the "White Cork Beveled Coffee Cup" by Masayoshi Nakagawa, who has a workshop in Shigaraki. Masayoshi Nakagawa is known for his cork series. This unique cork-like cup has a unique texture, and you can feel the warmth of nature with its earthy texture.

The "Cork Beveled Coffee Cup" has 10 beveled edges that make it easy to hold, and the edges taper off towards the mouth, creating a rounded finish that makes it easy to drink from. You can choose from two handle patterns: white or brown.

You can also use the separately sold "Scratch Round Plate" as a saucer on the dining table. It goes perfectly with the dish.

Crazing (fine cracks on the surface of the glaze) can be seen faintly on the inside, and as you use it, tea stains and other impurities will seep into it, transforming it into a piece of pottery with a rich character. Enjoy the changes that emerge as the piece develops its own unique character with daily use.
