We got matching ones as a family for my husband's birthday. We drank sake in the finest of spirits. All of us feel very lucky to have the beauty of the far-off cosmos in our hands. Despite the rush of the year's end, dispatch was quick and the service careful — a great help. We'll treasure them.

I bought this as a present for a friend from my student days. When I handed it over they said they'd seen it on television — which shows it really is a piece that has been featured across the media.

I bought this as a gift for my father.

It has an elegant lustre and is sumptuous; the real thing is more beautiful than the photographs and I'm very satisfied. My father was delighted too.

I sent this to a friend who looks after me whenever I travel — my usual thank-you.

There seems to be nothing like this vessel abroad and my friend was overwhelmed.

"From now on, I'm drinking sake!" they tell me.

You really do want it this size — anything smaller feels lacking.

Chilled sake or warmed, when you pour a drink in, the speckling of the piece and the real gold at the rim shine — very beautiful.
