A set of distinctive stoneware beer glasses by Tamba potter Ken Nagai.  Unglazed and unadorned, they have a natural, rustic flavor characteristic of wood-fired Tamba wares.  The intense heat within the kiln produces dynamic hi-iro ("fire color") gradations of rust red to dark brown, and swirling embers of red pine ash fuse with the surface of the clay, forming a "natural glaze" (shizen-yu) which is rough yet pleasing to the touch.

Skillfully handcrafted to an exacting thinness, these lightweight glasses resonate when tapped on the rim.  They are sure to become a beer drinker's favorite.

Best when chilled before use.
