Product details

Details from the source listing

A playful Kyoto-selected free cup with the warmth of a small daily ritual object.

This Japanese free cup is sourced from Rakushien's listing for Yugama Eto Free Cup (Tiger). The source identifies the kiln or maker as Takeuchi Yutaka and describes the cup as a free cup decorated with a zodiac tiger drawn in icchin relief and an ikkanjin-style ornament.

The form is easy to use across quiet coffee, tea, or an evening desk ritual. Its charm is expressive, but the cup remains restrained enough for a refined shelf, a housewarming gift, or a small collected object in a Singapore or Hong Kong home.

  • Source listing: Rakushien product no. 1414
  • Japanese product name: 裕窯 干支フリーカップ(寅)
  • Maker or kiln named by source: 武内裕 / Takeuchi Yutaka
  • Type named by source: フリーカップ / free cup
  • Decoration note from source: zodiac motif drawn in icchin; ikkanjin ornament
  • Size from source: rim diameter 7.7 cm x height 8.2 cm
  • Capacity from source: approximately 220 ml
