Rustic and Cozy Soup Cup with White Matte Glaze

Crafted from a coarse red clay, this soup cup allows you to appreciate the rustic texture and comforting warmth unique to earthenware. The white matte glaze, with its subtle hints of yellow and red, offers a warm hue and a gentle texture. These two elements have been combined to create this soup cup. Its ample size is ideal for accommodating generous servings of soup, even those packed with ingredients. The off-white color palette beautifully showcases the vibrant colors of clear broths and consommé. Naturally, its warm, earthy aesthetic pairs wonderfully with rich, creamy potage. We would be delighted if you could enjoy this piece as a vessel for your warm and delicious moments. All stages of production, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are meticulously done by hand in my home studio, equipped with a small electric kiln and a potter's wheel. The plump, rounded silhouette, the textured finish, and the slight heft all contribute to its authentic earthenware character. While mass production is not possible, each piece possesses its own unique expression, offering the distinct charm of handmade craftsmanship. The item you receive will be one of the three pieces shown in the final product image. As long as stock permits, you may also select your preferred piece. Please indicate your choice when placing your order. To ensure your table is protected, the base of each vessel is carefully sanded to minimize scratching. I continuously explore various glazes and clays, seeking the best combinations to create diverse pottery in a range of colors and forms. Each piece is unique, appearing similar yet distinct, as identical replication is impossible. It brings me great joy when customers find a piece that truly resonates with them. We hope you will embrace the comforting atmosphere woven by the earthenware clay and glaze as a touch of color in your daily life. ----- *Dimensions and Weight* 1 Diameter 11.3cm Base Diameter 5.6cm Height 6.1cm Weight 302g 2 Diameter 11.4cm Base Diameter 5.2cm Height 6.5cm Weight 300g 3 Diameter 11.2cm Base Diameter 5.1cm Height 6.5cm Weight 313g ----- *Important Notes on Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of earthenware, it may absorb liquids, leading to potential staining within the crazing or slight seepage of moisture. To address this, all our ceramic items undergo a waterproofing treatment with a food-safe sealant before shipping, eliminating the need for initial seasoning (me-jime). This treatment requires 2-3 days, hence our shipping timeframe of 5 days from order placement. If you prefer not to have this treatment applied, please inform us at the time of purchase. - Cutlery shown in product images is not included. - The glaze's color characteristics may appear whiter under natural morning light or white artificial light, and exhibit more reddish or yellowish tones under evening light or warm-toned illumination. - While we strive to capture and edit product images to accurately reflect the actual item, please be aware that colors may appear differently depending on your monitor settings and ambient lighting conditions. - As items are also sold on other platforms, in the rare event of overlapping purchases, priority will be given to the customer who completes the purchase process first.
