Teacup, Goshu Nukibai 1-b

A teacup depicting plum blossoms blooming in the pottery studio's garden amidst the cold. Rendered in bright, warm colors, this piece evokes Japanese beauty and the arrival of spring. This piece is crafted using Shigaraki clay, shaped on a potter's wheel, and meticulously decorated with plum blossoms using liquid rubber. After removing the rubber, an overglaze is applied and fired multiple times to achieve the finished look. The black specks visible on the surface are iron particles within the clay oxidizing during firing, adding to the unique character of this vessel. It is designed for a comfortable grip with a smooth rim. Easy to care for and ideal for daily use. You can enjoy how the glaze deepens with age, developing beautiful fine cracks over time.
