Octagonal Teacup with Dragonfly Design

This teacup features a free-flowing depiction of dragonflies flying about in the studio garden. This is a tasteful piece that allows you to feel the beauty of Japanese culture and the seasons. This piece is made from Shigaraki clay, which is shaped on a potter's wheel and then pressed with a spatula while still soft into an octagonal shape. After drying, it is carefully carved to finish. Before applying the glaze, a dragonfly is drawn with liquid rubber, and the glaze is repelled to create the dragonfly. This teacup is easy to hold and has a smooth mouthfeel. It has a large capacity and a shape that keeps it from cooling down easily. It also makes a great gift. You can enjoy watching the porcelain develop crazes and gain depth as you use it.
