Shot glass -"燦彩"Sansai , Light Green by Goun Maeda

Kiyomizu-Ware Crystal Glaze Shot Glass

Enhance your evening ritual with this handmade ceramic shot glass from Goun Kiln in Higashiyama, Kyoto. Each piece is finished in a “crystal glaze” that mimics ice crystals—showcasing japan’s traditional pottery artistry.

Every glass features a unique pattern, creating a bespoke feel.

Crowdfunding Hit on Makuake

Launched in February 2025, our Makuake campaign for this glass far exceeded its goal—proof that lovers of kyoto pottery and ceramic art can’t get enough.

Unique Zinc Crystal Patterns

Fired at 1,250°C, the zinc-rich glaze naturally forms crystal structures. As light shifts, you’ll catch hues of blue, green, and silver—adding a subtle sparkle to your sake or liqueur.

Perfect for Gifts or Personal Treats

Pair it with our signature KOTOPOTTER gift box for a memorable present. Ideal for fans of authentic, handmade japan ceramics.

Note: Gift box not included when “Home Use” is selected.

Ergonomic Design & Versatile Use

Wheel-thrown and hand-trimmed, each glass offers a balanced weight and comfortable thickness. Perfect for savoring sake or liqueurs, and equally suitable as a small dessert bowl or condiment dish. The stable base ensures no wobble on any surface.

Crafted by Artisan Goun Maeda

With over 50 years dedicated to exploring crystal glazes, Goun Maeda blends rigorous experimentation with respect for traditional japanese ceramic techniques—bringing each shot glass to life.
