Japanese Guinomi Sake Cup – Signed by Kamei Miraku XIII | With Original Tomobako
This exquisite guinomi (sake cup) is a hand‑thrown ceramic piece, accompanied by its original signed wooden Tomobako box, bearing the seal and calligraphy of Kamei Miraku XIII — the thirteenth generation of the esteemed Kamei ceramic lineage.
🟫 About the Kamei Family
The Kamei family is a long‑standing and respected name in Japanese pottery, known especially for its contributions to Hagi-yaki and Takatori-yaki traditions. As a multi‑generational kiln, the Kamei lineage has upheld and evolved the Japanese aesthetic of tea ceramics through centuries of refined craftsmanship.
🟫 Why this piece is significant
This sake cup was created by the 13th-generation master (Kamei Miraku XIII), likely during the mid‑20th century.
The family lineage is now continued by Kamei Miraku XV, indicating this work may represent a final phase or “late signature” piece by the 13th-generation potter.
Works with signed Tomobako from this generation are rarely seen on the market and are considered highly collectible, especially when intact with original box and inscription.
🟫 Highlights
Authentic Hagi-yaki style: subtle glaze textures, earthy tones, and soft form
Hand‑thrown, with signature irregularities and kiln effects
Tomobako signed and sealed with the artist’s name
Strong provenance as part of a historically recognized ceramic family
🟫 Condition
Excellent vintage condition — no chips, cracks, or repairs. Glaze irregularities and subtle wabi-sabi aesthetic are part of its intended style.
