The combination of real platinum, tenmoku and the artist's own blue glaze is superb. This is a masterpiece by the master Shinemon. Invaluable for my daily break.

The maker appears to be a well-known artist, so when buying a coffee cup I chose this. I had the sense of being captivated by a strikingly original pattern only Shinemon could make.

For myself. The service and the coffee cup are wonderful, in a word. If I must add something, it is that my wife is now pressing me to buy another cup.

I gave it as a present to someone who has done a great deal for me. It needed to be sent overseas, and I badly wanted it to arrive in time for the anniversary, so they dispatched it quickly. It arrived in time, which was a relief. They seemed to like it.

A chic, modern coffee cup with real presence. The maker's care seems to reach every detail, and it made me feel the depth of the art of Arita ware.
