Made during my artist residency in Sasayama, Hyogo, Japan, this cup is shaped from Japanese clay and finished with Japanese glazes, then fired in an anagama (穴窯) using matsu (松, pine) and nara (楢, oak) from the Sasayama region. As the wood burns, soda and ash fly through the kiln and land on each piece, creating colours and surfaces that can’t be planned or repeated. When you pick one up, you’re holding the exact spot it sat in the kiln.
This mug is finished with ash from a local rice field in Sasayama, giving it a surface that belongs to the land it came from. Combined with the pine and nara ash from the kiln, the colour and texture are entirely its own.
Each piece is handmade, so size, shape and glaze vary a little from one to the next. The one you see is the one you’ll get, individual and irreplaceable.
Details
Approx. size: 8.5cm x 7cm
Capacity: approx. 290ml
Woodfired Japanese clay and glazes
Dishwasher safe, handwashing recommended for longevity
