4-piece heaven and earth sake set (sold out)

limited edition: One of a Finds original works are offered one time only in a small reserve for collectors and enthusiasts. This special CB2 find has a limited edition release of 300, all of which have been sold. Check back soon to see our latest One of a Finds. new spin. A CB2 one of a find. This elegantly simple sake set is the vision of an emerging Chinese design collective, Spin. In their studio just outside Shanghai, seven young designers honor the 13th Century Yuan Dynasty porcelain-making traditions of the town of Jingdezhen in stunning pieces that speak to modern times. Devoid of the cliche, touristy embellishments that have eroded the historical beauty of Chinese porcelain, their fresh "new spin" takes shape with pure forms subtle in color, clear in purpose. At the same time, they are reviving the ancient qualities of Jingdezhen porcelain: white as jade, thin as paper, clear as glass, sweet-sounding as a chime. Using only the finest Kaolin clay, natural drying techniques and authentic Jingdezhen glazes-the unique green-white shadow glaze, illusive blue underglaze and red-copper underglaze historically reserved for the emperor-Spin is carrying on centuries of tradition, yet paradoxically breaking away from them. The Japanese ritual of sake reaches modern new heights with our tall porcelain server ascending to "heaven" and geometric "earth" cups. To practice the custom of o-shaku, pour only for your guests-never for yourself-and let their cups runneth over. Kampai. -Porcelain pitcher and cups -Pine wood box -Made in China

Beautiful as an art piece!~

I was delighted with this graceful and beautiful sake set. Because I plan to use it as a sculptural / art piece, I am not concerned about its practicality.
The wooden box could actually be stained and mounted on the wall to display the set, but it is absolutely gorgeous on a dark floating shelf. This is a limited production item, with the number of the piece included on a card that describes the process as well as the studio that created it.
It's a lovely addition to my contemporary decor.

Somewhat disappointed
Date:04/09/2011
Been searching for a cool sake bowl for a long time. Usually most stores have sake set which the drink ware are sake cup not bowl, was excited when saw this online, went to the SoHo store and bough it, should of open and check it out first. The bowl is way to small, would be a lot cooler and easier to hold and drink out of if is some what bigger. Also for those who drink sake warm in winter this might not be a good set to heat up and the bottle is way too tall for heating.
