Wabi Sabi Tiny Tea Cup
$26.00
This piece was fired using a classic Shino glaze in a reduction environment. This complex process is responsible for the captivating finish:
- The Glaze: The creamy white surface exhibits the characteristic crackle and areas of blushing, where the iron in the clay interacts with the glaze.
- The Speckles: The beautiful reddish-brown speckles are the result of iron deposits in the clay body "breaking through" the glaze during the firing process.
- The Blue-Grey Rim: The soft, misty blue-grey hue near the rim is a hallmark of reduction-fired Shino, where the chemistry creates unique, variegated colors.
A true collector's item, this small cup brings warmth and organic texture to your tea ceremony.
Suggested Use: Teacup (Chawan), Sake Cup (Guinomi), or Espresso.
