MOKU Mini Cup & Saucer

This is a mini cup and saucer set from the "MOKU" series, featuring a wiped lacquer (suri-urushi) finish, designed to convey the beauty and texture of Japan's unique wooden tableware in modern life. Along with the natural wood grain, you can also enjoy the red and black hues of the lacquer. The slightly smaller cup is perfect for demitasse coffee. Thanks to the low thermal conductivity of wood, even if you pour hot coffee into the cup, the exterior does not become too hot to hold, and the contents stay warm for longer. Additionally, its stackable design enhances storage convenience. Crafted using the traditional wood-turning technique "rokuro-biki," the set prioritizes lightness and ease of handling, making it especially suitable for elderly individuals who might find heavier tableware challenging to use. The saucer is not only a base for the cup but can also double as a small plate for treats like chocolate or other sweets. Featuring a visible wood grain with wiped lacquer finish, it is available in two colors: red and black. Collecting both colors can also be enjoyable.
