Seiji Shinogi-Bori Hakkaku Coffeewan (青磁鎬彫八角珈琲碗)
This is a Celadon cup & saucer which Ogushi-san has created.
Preserving the Nabeshima-yaki tradition, he uses the special glaze made from smashed celadon stones, which is yellowish "gemstone" mined at the Mt. Okawachi.
It turns to the clear color like the Japanese Hisui, jade green.
