Earthy tones of the stoneware base, accented with delicate blue lines along the outer bottom rim and inner rim, create a grounded, harmonious feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts shape comes from the soba \u003cem\u003echoko\u003c\/em\u003e cup, originally made for soba dipping sauce, and it serves just as well for tea, side dishes, or desserts.
