These are great sipping cups for good scotch, whiskey, soju and sake. They are thrown off the hump using an electric wheel and a chuck is used to support them for hand trimming. All of these have a Shino liner glaze. Cups in the back of the kiln tend to be glazed with wood ash glazes or Shino type glazes, while those in the middle of the kiln have a mix of slip decoration and glaze splashes. Pieces fired near the fire box are generally bare clay and show heavy ash deposits. Placement in the kiln sometimes produces black. They are about 2 ¾ to 3 ¼ inches in diameter and 2 ½ to 2 ¾ inches tall.
