Sometsuke Striped Soba Cup — Hand-Painted Japanese Pottery by Jusen KilnPainted entirely by hand, this soba cup carries the mark of a practiced brush the pattern applied one piece at a time, each stroke placed by feel as much as memory. No two pieces come out quite the same. Jusen Kiln forms and painting each soba cup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a soba cup that carries the marks of its making never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character.
