THE RIGHT SIZED CUP

I made a few sets of tokkuri and guinomi and after making them realized that the cups were all rather small in comparison to the tokkuri. taking my cue from nearly every ZATOICHI episode and a myriad of other chambara flicks, I decided to make a couple of sets with a bottle and a larger cup, to some I suspect, the right sized cup. Illustrated is a stoneware set of tokkuri/guinomi with hakeme slip under my saffron and a clear glaze. The bottle will fill the cup exactly two times and when you are imbibing five ounces of alcohol at a time, two may be just enough.
