This set of five handmade pottery cups embodies the timeless character of artisan studio ceramics. Each piece is wheel-thrown with a softly flared rim and glazed in a natural speckled finish that feels both rustic and refined. The abstract white and brown swirl motif gives the set a fluid, organic energy — a nod to the tactile spontaneity of 1970s–1980s North American pottery.
The interiors are fully glazed for functionality, while the exteriors retain the gentle texture of hand-applied clay slip. Perfect for espresso, sake, or simply as sculptural vessels that celebrate form and imperfection. Each cup bears an impressed potter’s mark on the base, underscoring its handmade origin.
