Dark stoneware, white slip, white feldspathic glaze made from locally sourced materials

Height: ~3.5 cm

Diameter: ~9 cm

Capacity: ~50 ml

The form of this tea cup is inspired by the morning glory flower. The iron-rich stoneware clay is coated with white slip and a feldspathic glaze in a soft off-white tone. Subtle hints of pink appear in places near the rim.

With use, the fine crackle in the glaze gradually absorbs the colour of the tea, slowly developing a more distinctive wabi-sabi character over time. Its small capacity makes it well suited to gongfu cha tea preparation.
