Double Wall Cup – Ao-Irabo (M)

Lightweight, Functional, and Beautifully Crafted in Arita Ware

Known for its excellent insulation, the double-wall design is often seen in glassware. Three Rivers has taken this concept and realized it in Arita Ware porcelain, combining the durability and refined texture of traditional Japanese ceramics with the functional benefits of double-wall construction.

The hollow interior keeps the cup light even when filled, and because it’s porcelain, it’s perfect for both hot and cold beverages. You can enjoy hot tea without burning your hands, and cold drinks without condensation forming on the outside. Its gently tapered rim also enhances the aroma of your drink.

The Ao-Irabo glaze is a traditional Arita Ware finish with a slightly textured feel. Its deep, subdued blue is timeless and suitable for any generation.

This medium-sized cup is versatile — use it for warm sake, as a whiskey glass, or even as a dessert cup for ice cream. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life, making each moment a little more enjoyable.

Arita – Japan’s First Porcelain, Reimagined for the World

Arita Ware is known as the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, distinguished by its pure white clay body and vivid overglaze colors. Loved since the Edo period for its durability and beauty, it has been a daily part of Japanese life for over 400 years.

Three Rivers Co., Ltd. has harnessed Arita’s ceramic techniques to create innovative products, including world-renowned porous ceramic coffee filters. These filters, carefully crafted with precise hole sizes and materials, are designed to make coffee taste its best and have gained global attention.

In addition to coffee filters, Three Rivers continues to push the boundaries of Arita Ware with traditional glazes, double-wall porcelain cups, and other designs that bring a fresh perspective to this centuries-old craft.
