On Sale / White Clay and Matte Glaze Tea Cup - Amber Rim

*We are offering this item at a sale price for inventory clearance. We invite you to consider this opportunity. Crafted from fine-grained white clay that makes glaze colors appear vivid. After being shaped into a rounded tea cup form, it is finished with a smooth, warm-feeling cream-colored matte glaze. A dark brown glaze is applied to the rim as an accent. This is a generous, oversized tea cup. When held in both hands, the curves of the vessel fit comfortably in your palms. The interior has an off-white hue, allowing you to enjoy the color of transparent beverages like green tea or black tea. It is, of course, also suitable for coffee, cafe au lait, or soup. Please enjoy it with your favorite drink. Production is carried out in a home studio equipped with a small electric kiln and an electric potter's wheel. Every step, from wedging the clay to shaping, biscuit firing, glazing, and final firing, is done by hand. While mass production is not possible, each piece has its own unique character, and you can enjoy the distinct charm that comes with hand-crafted work. The item you receive will be the exact one shown in the product images. The base is polished with a file before shipping to ensure it does not scratch your table. I create various types of pottery, exploring different combinations of glazes and clays to develop diverse shapes and colors. As it is impossible to make two pieces exactly alike, these vessels, while similar, are essentially one-of-a-kind. I would be delighted if you could find one that you love. I hope you will enjoy the landscape created by the interplay of clay and glaze as a touch of color in your daily life. ーーーーー *Size and Weight* Size: Diameter 9.9cm, Base diameter 4.4cm, Height 7cm Weight: 225g ーーーーー *Notes on Purchase and Use ・Due to the nature of pottery, it has absorbent properties. In some cases, colors from food may stain the crackle patterns, or moisture may seep through.

Since the sealing process requires 2–3 days, please allow 5 days from order to shipment. Please let us know at the time of purchase if you do not require the sealant treatment. ・The cutlery shown in the product images is not included. ・We strive to ensure that product images are as true to life as possible, but colors may appear different depending on your monitor settings or lighting conditions.
