CHOKO Cup
Black, unglazed
NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE
Description
In Japanese, a ‘choko’ is a small cup traditionally used for drinking sake. This black unglazed ceramic vessel can also double as a tea cup or simply be enjoyed for its visual form. Crafted in Toki, Gifu prefecture – a region renowned for its rich pottery culture – this CHOKO cup gains its strength, density and natural texture from the ‘yakishime’ firing technique.

AGOBAY Showroom ZurichEach cup is a handmade piece with slight differences in colour, pattern, shape and size as a result of the process.
This cup is unglazed and fired at extremely high temperatures, in the traditional Japanese ‘yakishime’ ceramic technique. It pairs poetically with other pieces crafted in the same way.

Before first use, immerse the cup in water and boil it for 30 minutes. Taking care of your cup includes avoiding stacking it with other objects to prevent scratches or cracks. Use spoons and other hard utensils with extra care to avoid striking or scraping.
After use, handwash it carefully with a soft sponge and dry thoroughly. Do not wash it with any cleansing agents and avoid using abrasive sponges, dishwashers or drying machines.
It must not be directly exposed to temperature shocks – whether from a flame, conventional oven, microwave, induction cooktop, freezer, refrigerator or other source of heat or cold. Avoid any shocks or friction.
If you notice any cracks, chips or deep scrapes, please stop using it, as these can cause the item to break at any time.
As our objects are crafted in small batches and often made-to-order by our artisans, we regretfully do not accept any returns.
