Description
The Lunar Goblet carries a quiet sense of ceremony, the kind that turns ordinary moments into something held, noticed, and remembered. Its silhouette rises gently before widening at the rim, creating a form that feels balanced and almost weightless in the hand. Morning or evening, water or wine, the goblet brings a calm verticality to the table, as if lifting the moment itself.
In daily life, it moves easily between uses: a cup for an unhurried drink, a sculptural piece resting by the window, a companion during slow conversations. The stem grounds the form while the bowl opens with a soft flare, giving each sip a sense of intention. Light travels along the satin surface in quiet gradients, collecting at the curve where the moon once inspired its shape.
Placed alone, the goblet stands like a small architectural element, simple, refined, and steady. In pairs or groups, it creates a rhythm of rising lines, adding quiet symmetry to gatherings without overwhelming the table. It is an object shaped not for performance, but for presence.
* Size: Ø140x128H mm | Volumn: 230mm

maintenance
Our pieces are made to last, but how you care for them is what gives them soul.
- Dishwasher & microwave safe; gentle cycles are best.
- Avoid metal utensils or rough sponges on the surface.
- After use, rinse and dry softly to preserve the glaze’s depth.
- For light stains, soak briefly with baking soda and warm water.
Inspiration
Objects are not trophies. They are the quiet witnesses to how you live.
In East Asian paintings, the moon rarely appears as a perfect circle. It is often suggested instead, by a curved stroke, a softened edge of cloud, or the way light thins as it leaves the frame. What stays with us is not the whole moon, but its quiet outline against the night.
For the moments when light, shadow,
and the everyday quietly align.
The Artisan Behind
For over three decades, Kyoto porcelain master Mitsutaka Shirakawa has worked almost exclusively in white clay and controlled, minimal silhouettes. His practice is grounded in repetition, small adjustments, and an almost architectural attention to proportion.
