Octagonal Teacup Golden Plover

This is an octagonal teacup featuring the golden plover flowers blooming in the pottery studio's garden. It's a piece that evokes a sense of understated elegance, Japanese beauty, and the changing seasons. This piece is crafted using Shigaraki clay, shaped on a potter's wheel, and then gently pressed into an octagon while still soft. The golden plover motif is meticulously hand-painted, with layers of color added and fired repeatedly to achieve the final finish. The vibrant flowers, rendered in gold, stand out beautifully against the deep, rich black glaze, creating a stunning teacup. Its generous capacity and shape, designed to retain heat, make it perfect for enjoying tea or coffee. It also makes a wonderful gift for someone special. You can also enjoy how its depth and character deepen with use. Diameter: 7.0cm, Height: 9.5cm, Weight: 220g, Capacity: 200cc *Not suitable for use in microwave ovens, dishwashers, ovens, with cleansers, or nylon scrubbers.
