The walls are thrown so thin they resemble an eggshell, which is the whole point of the piece: a cup that carries centuries of Japanese porcelain tradition in a shell you can almost see through. Each cup is 250cc and comes in a paulownia wood box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe thinness is what makes it special, and what makes it hard to make — porcelain this fine takes a master's hand and a long, high firing to hold its shape. In the hand it feels almost weightless, and the rim is fine enough to change how the sake meets your lip. It's made to order, so each one is produced for the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArita, Saga, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamahira kiln\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuinomi (ぐい呑み) — Arita ware (有田焼)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250cc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,300°C for 13 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaulownia wood box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 2 weeks (made to order)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003ePour sake and drink — the fine rim and thin body make the cup feel light and bring the sake cleanly to the lip, which is why collectors prize eggshell porcelain for tasting.
