Made during my artist residency in Sasayama, Hyogo, Japan, this tumbler 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.
The base of this tumbler is hand carved using kurinuki (くり抜き), a technique where the form is hollowed out and carved directly from the clay. Every cut leaves a mark, so the foot has a character of its own that you can feel as well as see.
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: 8.2cm x 9.4cm
Capacity: approx. 314ml
Woodfired Japanese clay and glazes
Dishwasher safe, handwashing recommended for longevity
