Blue-gray glaze, round cup

This glaze has an appealing soft luster, fine crazing, and a calm, pale blue-gray color. The coarse white clay makes the color of the glaze stand out. This cup was created by combining these elements. The soft, rounded shape is plump and gives off a cute impression while still exuding a Japanese atmosphere. When you hold it in both hands, the curves of the bowl fit comfortably in your palm. Japanese tea, roasted green tea, coffee, cafe au lait, juice, beer, and more. We would be delighted if you could add a few ice cubes to this for a cold drink in the hot season, or a warm drink in the cold season to accompany your relaxing time. I use a small electric kiln and an electric potter's wheel at home to make my pottery, and all processes, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are done by hand. Although we cannot mass-produce them, each one has its own unique character and you can enjoy the flavor that comes from being made by hand. The item you receive will be the same as the product image. To avoid damaging your table as much as possible, the contact surface will be sanded down before delivery. Using a variety of glazes and clays, I create a wide range of pottery in a variety of colors and shapes, searching for the best combinations. It is impossible to create two identical pieces, so although they may look similar, each piece is unique. I would be very happy if you could find your favorite. We hope you enjoy the soft glaze colors and the simple, warm atmosphere that only pottery can provide at your daily dinner table. ---- *Size and weight* ・Diameter 9cm, Base diameter 4.3cm, Height 7.4cm Weight: 207g ---- *Precautions for purchase and use - Due to its nature, pottery is absorbent, and in some cases color may stain the crazing or moisture may seep out.
