Octagonal Teacup with Gold and Silver Camellia Design b

An octagonal teacup with a dignified presence, depicting the white camellias blooming in the garden, as seen from the window of a pottery studio in winter. The vibrant white camellias stand out against the calm black glaze, creating a piece that evokes Japanese beauty and the essence of the season. This piece is formed by shaping Shigaraki clay on a potter's wheel, then pressing it with a spatula to create an octagon. The teacup is then carefully hand-painted with camellias, layer by layer, using a glaze mixed with gold and silver for added vibrancy. The use of gold and silver for the painting is technically challenging, requiring meticulous attention to temperature and humidity control during the process. Its shape holds a generous amount of liquid and stays warm longer. It is comfortable to hold with a smooth rim. This teacup is suitable for celebratory occasions and moments of hospitality. It also makes a delightful gift. You can enjoy how its beauty deepens with use.
