Product description
Hand-thrown stoneware with a slightly curved silhouette. The top of the cup features a speckled ash glaze, almost sand-like to the visual touch, which then descends into an indigo blue gradient before darkening to a deep black near the base. This gradual transition from one shade to the next evokes a horizon, never repeating itself in exactly the same way on any two cups. The unglazed foot reveals raw, reddish clay and the marks of hand-throwing.
A cup of this size and height is meant to be held for daily green tea (yunomi) rather than left sitting on a saucer: its thick walls retain heat, and the gradient running across it is fully revealed once the cup is in hand and turned toward the light.
A piece without a signature or visible mark under the base: it is impossible to attribute this glaze flow to a specific workshop or ceramist. We therefore remain cautious about its exact origin, while being able to describe with certainty the technique employed: a layering of hand-poured glazes.
Care: hand washing is recommended to preserve the matte finish of the speckled area. Avoid sudden thermal shocks.
Estimated dimensions: diameter 8 to 9 cm, height 8 to 9 cm (to be confirmed by direct measurement).
