Sake or espresso cup by Ken Sasaki

This cup has that unmistakable Ken Sasaki vibe organic, rugged, and just a bit wild.

The form is compact and hand-built, with slightly uneven walls that give it a living, breathing presence rather than the stiff symmetry of wheel-thrown ware. The surface is where Sasaki’s signature voice really sings: a thick, creamy white glaze flows over the cup like molten ivory, breaking open to reveal the deep, earthy clay underneath.
