Octagonal Base Katakuchi

£11200

This katakuchi or open sake pourer has it all: the pockmarks in the glaze, the metallic irridescent rivulets of glaze, and the mix of blues, down to the swirl of blue in the bottom. The small golden studs are suspended like distant stars in the sky and provide pleasing tactile variation when using the pourer. Perfect for sake, but also a versatile shape for milk, dressing or anything else you choose!

Care Guide

Like all tableware and handmade homewares, our products should be used with some degree of care to help keep them looking good. These are fired at a high temperature but Sudou san is uncomfortable stating that they are dishwasher safe. So we have to follow that and recommend handwashing only.

Meet the Maker:

Kouyougama

In the forests of Kagoshima, in the far South-West of Japan, Sudou san tries to master the richest blue he can fire.
His blues range from a beautiful silvery metallic blue down to the deepest starry midnight blue. Among stacks of rejected pieces, Sudou san keeps searching for the blue in his mind. Mostly making sake cups and pourers, Sudou san sometimes adds ammonites and fossil shaped inlay to his pieces.
