FINALLY! After 3 months of waiting, Acorn cup is back in stock!  Order soon, small batch production means our inventory is always small.  
 
"Donguri" means Acorn in Japanese.  Each cup is hand-thrown by 14th generation Ceramist Mr. Kajiwara at Yamamaru kiln.   The infamous signature "tobikanna" (chattering pattern) of Koishwara-ware was creatively applied to the lid to create the acorn motif when white slip is being scraped off.   Koishiwara artisan takes pride in and respect local raw material, which plays an important part in nurturing this 350-year-old craft tradition.
 
This cup is perfect for a cortado or macchiato, also great for pudding, ice-cream, or the popular Japanese "chawan mushi" savory steamed egg custard.
