A closer look
This is a handcrafted ceramic cup, specifically a Shino ware style tea cup, with a capacity of 110ml. The cup is made from original mineral clay, which is hand-thrown on a potter's wheel. Its form is rounded and slightly irregular, with a gently flared rim and a stable, unglazed foot ring. The primary visual feature is the thick, white glaze that has been applied to the exterior and interior. This glaze exhibits a natural, flowing characteristic, cascading down the sides of the cup in thick, creamy rivulets and drips, creating a dynamic, organic pattern. Where the glaze is thinner or has pulled away, the warm, brownish-orange color of the underlying clay body is revealed, providing a striking contrast.
The surface texture of the white glaze is glossy and smooth to the touch, with a depth that gives it a translucent, almost lard-like quality. The glaze application is intentionally uneven, with some areas showing a heavier, more opaque coating, while others are thinner, allowing the clay's color to show through. On the interior, the glaze has a slightly different character, with visible shrinkage patterns and a network of fine crackle lines, known as crazing, which is a hallmark of Shino ware. These crackle lines are expected to become more pronounced and numerous with use over time. The rim of the cup is left partially unglazed, exposing the raw clay, which has a matte, earthy texture.
The overall aesthetic is one of rustic elegance and wabi-sabi, emphasizing natural imperfections and the beauty of the firing process. The cup's shape is ergonomic, designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The unglazed foot ring is flat and stable, showing the concentric rings from the throwing process.
