This small tea cup features a glazed surface that retains the earthy character of Shigaraki ware. Natural minerals within the clay produce rough, tactile textures and gentle color variations, while the glaze settles unevenly, preserving the material’s depth and warmth. Subtle firing marks remain visible, reflecting the influence of heat and flame.

The coarse texture continues from the exterior to the interior, creating a balanced contrast with the smoother, jade-toned base. Well suited for tea or other beverages, this cup offers a comfortable grip and a calm, rustic presence.

Artist

Yu Sugimoto is a Japanese pottery artist rooted in the traditions of Shigaraki-ware. Sugimoto’s pieces make full use of the natural character of Shigaraki clay. He plays with geometric shapes and unique glazes like Kohiki and Kakewake. His work highlights the rough, natural feel of the clay to create interesting, modern designs.
