Description
SORAGOI Tumbler/handmade pottery by yoshi fujii

AVAILABLE BY SPECIAL ORDER. Four to six weeks production time. Upon purchase, we will contact you to confirm delivery date.

A swimming koi graces the surface of this porcelain tumbler by Yoshi Fujii. A wash of blue green glaze envelopes the exquisite pattern. Adding visual interest, the koi bears a Hi near its tail ( Hi "hee" - Hi is any red pattern on the body of a Koi). Thrown on a potter's wheel, this handmade piece of pottery is wonderful to use for tea, wine, or any beverage. But the possibilities don't stop there, its elegance deserves to be put on display. Use it for drawing pencils or paint brushes, or place a few fresh flower clippings in it. This piece is one that deserves to be visually adored every day.
