Description

Fired to 1300°C in a wood-fired kiln, this cup carries a glaze that only fire can write. Iron-rich slip erupts through the surface and cools into metallic oil spots — each one a record of the moment it formed.

Why it feels different in the hand

  • Hand-thrown from local clay — the wall thickness varies slightly by design, not by accident.
  • Kiln variation means the piece you receive will share this glaze family, not this exact photograph.
  • Weighted base keeps the cup steady on a wet tea tray.

How to care for it

Rinse with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid detergents and sudden temperature changes. The glaze is durable, but the surface will slowly deepen in character with use — this is expected, and it is the point.
