Kurinuki Ceramic Whiskey Glass

Discover the rugged elegance of this Kurinuki ceramic whiskey glass—a true reflection of wabi-sabi aesthetics. Hand-carved from a solid block of clay using the Japanese Kurinuki technique, this tumbler embodies authenticity, imperfection, and mindful craftsmanship.

Each line, ridge, and surface on this whiskey cup is formed through a meditative process of excavation, not molding. The raw stone-like texture of the exterior is balanced by a glossy marbled interior in tones of ochre, charcoal, and gold—reminiscent of natural erosion or swirling earth patterns. No two pieces are the same.

With a generous capacity of approximately 200 ml, this piece can be used as a whiskey glass, sake cup, tea tumbler, or simply as a functional art object. Whether you are a ceramic collector, a design enthusiast, or someone seeking a distinctive handmade gift, this cup makes a powerful impression.
