The fire-facing side is coated in a smooth, flowing glaze that shifts from pale ash-grey near the rim to darker mossy greens and earthy browns toward the base. The opposite side shows a matte, brick-red and brown surface with a rough, granular texture, reminiscent of weathered stone. Inside, a glossy, vitrified layer reveals a mix of green, black, and grey tones, with a rare pool of deep indigo and light blue glaze concentrated at the center of the cup's bottom.

A closer look
This wood-fired rough pottery cup exhibits a classic conical "douli" or bamboo hat shape, characterized by a wide, flared rim that tapers sharply down to a small, sturdy circular foot ring. The vessel is crafted from coarse ceramic material, featuring a highly textured and organic surface that speaks to its rustic, unrefined aesthetic. The exterior displays a complex interplay of colors and textures, with the fire-facing side coated in a smooth, flowing glaze that transitions from pale, ash-grey tones near the rim to darker, mossy greens and earthy browns towards the base. In contrast, the back-facing side reveals a more matte, "old red wall" appearance, with a mottled, brick-red and brown surface that feels rough and granular to the touch, resembling weathered stone or ancient masonry.
The interior of the cup is a vibrant landscape of glaze effects, featuring a glossy, vitrified layer that reflects light and highlights the depth of the finish. The inner walls are dominated by a mix of green, black, and grey hues, created by the natural accumulation of wood ash during the firing process. At the very center of the cup's bottom, there is a distinct and rare accumulation of blue glaze, appearing as a concentrated pool of deep indigo and light blue that stands out against the surrounding earth tones. This central blue feature is surrounded by a glossy, glass-like surface that enhances the visual depth of the cup. The rim is slightly uneven and rugged, consistent with the handcrafted nature of the piece, while the foot ring is unglazed, exposing the raw, reddish-brown clay body beneath.
The cup has a capacity of 90ml and a rim diameter of 9.7cm, making it a substantial yet manageable size for tea consumption. The overall design is heavily influenced by traditional wood-firing techniques, where the natural interaction of flame, ash, and clay creates unique, unrepeatable patterns. The craftsmanship is evident in the deliberate contrast between the smooth, glazed interior and the rough, tactile exterior, offering a sensory experience that combines visual beauty with a grounded, earthy feel. The piece embodies a "wabi-sabi" aesthetic, celebrating imperfection and the natural beauty of the materials and firing process.
