A simple teacup hand-carved from a single block of stoneware clay in the spirit of the Japanese art of kurinuki. Many times this clay is recycled leftovers from various projects in the studio and may sometimes even be a mix of different clays, further ensuring the uniqueness of each piece. Each one is then glazed and fired & vitrified to cone 10+ in a gas kiln.
"Golden Knoll" is carved from a mix of iron rich dark clays and is finished in a matte, warm white glaze. It also features a unique square foot.
These teacups were born out of solitude during COVID stay-at-home orders and as such, fittingly prescribe to the mindful nature & spirit of brewing a cup of tea. Imperfectly perfect, fit for any tea or cup of coffee!
