Retro-Modern Glass Coffee Cup and Saucer
The hand-pressed pattern glass coffee cup reflects a classically retro-modern design used throughout kissaten (traditional Japanese coffee houses) for more than a century, and is especially reminiscent of Showa era (1926 - 1989) Japan. This Hirota glass blends nostalgia and beauty which comes together when coffee is poured into the glass. Appreciate the craft of many generations of artisans with each and every sip.
