Kohiki is a type of high-fired stoneware characterized by a simple ash slip over an iron-rich body.  It was first produced by Korean potters in Japan in the 1500s, and its simple, unadorned beauty was highly regarded among the busho chajin, or "warrior tea men", who sometimes were rewarded for their loyalty with kohiki tea bowls.

Hiroaki Wada preserves the kohiki tradition with this splendid beer glass.  It was fired at Oizumi-gama, the Wada family's wood burning climbing kiln, and possesses all the unrefined simplicity of the kohiki wares of old.  It is sure to become a beer drinker's guarded treasure.

Best when chilled before use.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
