Viski 4465 Warren Stoneware Sake Set, Ceramic, Multicolor

This arrived sooner than expected and the sake set far exceeded my expectations. It is solid and well designed. The obsidian around the bottom adds a unique but understated elegance that I have not seen in other sake sets. The heft, weight and texture are solid. The carafe is a good solid 15oz much more than the typical 8oz sake bottle making suitable for 4 people to have 2 pours or 2 people 4 pours. The only thing I am hesitant to do it put this into a hot water bath which is one of the typical means of heating up sake prior to serving. However this does not in anyway detract from the overall design or character of this magnificent sake set!

I was attracted to the photo of the attractive, black, sleek lines of this set, specially since we use black as accent pieces with our dinnerware. (Personally I'm not keen on those usually ornate/hand-painted other sake sets.) This set is PERFECT!!!!!! The glossy black on the flat black finish makes the set look elegant, but subdued. The cups are a perfect size for sake.

This is a beautiful set! Sadly one of the glasses came broken :(

Bought 4 sets. 2 of them were damaged and scratched on arrival. I don't know if it's the shipping company fault or if they were already broken in the box but for stoneware it was poorly packaged. Otherwise Looks beautiful when you look at it but it feels really fragile.

Likes: appearance, arrived quickly, great price Dislikes: the first order arrived damaged (but was replaced within 72 hours)
