Kneaded teacups, morning sky 6

"Neriage" is a technique in which colorful clay that has been colored with pigments is kneaded together and patterns are created using the centrifugal force and the expansion and contraction of the clay when pulled on a potter's wheel. The patterns that are produced vary depending on how the clay is kneaded and the time and effort spent on turning the wheel, allowing you to enjoy the randomness that occurs at each stage. This vessel is made using three-colored clay colored with red and navy blue pigments. The somewhat gentle colors are reminiscent of the misty morning sky colored by the morning sun as it peeks out from behind the mountains. The outside and inside have different colours, creating a gentle and interesting look. The teacup is cute and plump and round overall. When you hold it in both hands, the curves fit comfortably in your palm. It can be used not only for green tea and roasted green tea, but also for coffee, cafe au lait, soup, etc. In addition to drinks, it can also be used to serve coffee jelly, pudding, ice cream, etc. Please enjoy it in various ways. I use a small electric kiln and an electric potter's wheel at home to make my pottery, and I do all of the processes by hand, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing. Because the pattern varies from time to time, each piece is unique and no two pieces can be made exactly the same. The item you receive will be the same as the product image. The surface that will come into contact with the table will be sanded before delivery. In addition, although it is difficult to see in the photo, there is some crazing on this piece of pottery. Using various glazes and clays, I create a wide variety of pottery in different 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 simple, warm texture of pottery and the colors that can only be achieved through kneading. --- *Size and weight* ・Diameter 9cm, Base diameter 3.8cm, Height 6.5cm Weight: 185g --- *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.
