Handmade Windfold Series – Hand-pinched Ceramic Cup No.2 with Cobalt Green

This is No.2 in the “Windfold” series — a hand-pinched ceramic cup born from touch, intuition, and fire. Unlike wheel-thrown pottery, the piece is shaped entirely by hand, with each ridge and fold shaped by fingertips, like wind carving its trace into clay. The cup’s glaze is a combination of cobalt green and mist white. During the high-temperature firing process, these two glazes merge unpredictably, producing gentle gradients of teal, pale blue, and subtle white fog. Some areas glisten with a translucent crackle, reminiscent of early morning dew on leaves. The rim is asymmetrical, softly undulating like a gust lifting the edge of paper. Its base narrows slightly, creating a natural grip that nestles comfortably in the palm. Inside, the glaze pools and flows in delicate motion, adding inner brilliance to its quiet form. Whether used for tea, sake, or simply held in the hand, this cup invites moments of stillness. It doesn’t shout; it listens. A vessel shaped by silence, wind, and time. Size： 10.5 x 14 cm x 5cm Material：Deep Pottery, Glaze Each piece is individually handcrafted and high-fired for durability. Slight variations in form, glaze texture, and hand-drawn lines are natural characteristics of handmade pottery, ensuring every piece is one of a kind. A charming addition to your desk, vanity, or living space. ⸻ 【Purchase Notice】 Each piece is entirely handcrafted — molded, carved, painted, and fired by the artist’s hands. You may notice: • Natural finger marks and pressure impressions from the hand-building process • Uneven glaze flow, natural color variations, or tiny pinholes on the surface • Asymmetry or slight dimensional differences • Subtle differences in underglaze color intensity These are not flaws, but the unique traces of handmade ceramic artistry.
