Hand-thrown ceramic cup in dark iron-rich stoneware, with a gently tapering form that sits comfortably in the hand. Broad brushstrokes of pale ash glaze sweep diagonally across the surface, revealing the rich clay beneath and creating a strong sense of movement. The glaze gathers and breaks over the contours of the vessel, producing subtle tonal shifts and a softly textured finish.
Rooted in the traditions of Japanese tea ware, the cup combines a quiet, functional form with an energetic glazed surface. The contrast between the dark body and fluid ash glaze highlights the spontaneity of the firing process, resulting in a piece that feels both refined and connected to the character of the materials.
Measurements: Approx.90mm high × c.75mm diameter at the rim with a 54mm foot.
Makers mark but unattributed, c.1960s–70s.
Condition: Very good, with no chips or cracks.
Price: £35
