Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a ceramic cup suitable for drinking beer, wine, whiskey, water, tea, etc., and particularly to a Bizen ware cup.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Bizen ware is famous among earthenware as simple ware without glaze. Recently, Bizen ware has been used as a brewing bottle and as a tip for alcoholic beverages. The main reason is that many studies have shown that pottery, especially Bizen ware baked in a reducing atmosphere, has a special effect on alcoholic beverages during or after brewing. This is due to the fact that the taste has been increased by tasting.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 For this reason, beer is often consumed in Bizen ware cups. However, in the case of pottery that does not use glaze, such as Bizen pottery, the surface is rough and unpleasant when drinking, and lipstick is not preferred for women. In an attempt to solve this problem, the part that touches the mouth (called the lip of the mouth in the present invention) was baked with glaze before firing Bizen ware. It was still unpleasant. Therefore, we studied to provide a Bizen-yaki cup that is comfortable to drink and has no lipstick for women.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a result of studying the above issues, a ceramic cup was developed in which a smooth layer of glaze was formed on the edge of the cup of the fired ceramic cup. As a pottery, Bizen ware is preferable because it has an effect of aging the content beverage as described above.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a Bizen porcelain cup 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a Bizen porcelain glass cup 10 which has been glazed before firing and fired thereafter. In the Bizen porcelain cup 1 of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a smooth layer 3 made of glaze is formed on the edge 2 of the mouth, which is not seen in the conventional Bizen porcelain cup. The smoothing layer 3 is formed on the entire periphery of the drinking lip portion 2 in a range where the outside of the cup is about 20 mm wide and the inside of the cup is about 5 to 10 mm wide and the upper and lower lips may touch. In order to form the smoothing layer 3 using the glaze, it is preferable to bake the material once around 1200 ° C. in advance and apply the glaze to the edge of the drinking cup of the fired ceramic cup. At that time, it is also effective to form the smooth layer 3 by polishing the edge of the cup of the ceramic cup after firing before applying the glaze so as to eliminate irregularities. Thereafter, firing was performed at 750 to 800 ° C. in a reducing atmosphere.

As shown in FIG. 3, a glaze is applied before firing, and thereafter, the Bizen pottery glass cup 10 fired has no smooth layer. In addition, the effect of increasing the taste of beer, etc. when drinking the Bizen porcelain cup 1 of the present invention is best when firing in a reducing atmosphere accompanied by far-infrared radiation.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 The present invention has made it possible to provide ceramics, especially Bizen ware cups, which are pleasant to drink and have no lipstick even when used by women. This has made it possible to taste delicious beer, water, tea, and other beverages that cannot be tasted with glass cups.
