Tasse en céramique 1

Handmade porcelain cup, crafted through slip casting and saggar fired,  with hemp wood chips, dried grasses, and rose petals. Wrapped with copper wire and fine wire mesh, the surface carries layered traces of organic combustibles. Dried seaweed was applied directly onto the porcelain and dusted with red iron oxide, producing the soft pink blushes that bloom across the surface like fleeting petals.

A frit wash was applied to the exterior, giving it a delicate sheen that enhances the natural fume patterns without obscuring the raw porcelain character. This series represents one of the lighter firings, where the subtle flame marks and floral tones echo the ephemeral beauty of petals touched by fire. The interior is finished with a transparent satin glaze, ensuring food safety and smooth use. Warping may be visible, a quiet trace of the cup’s journey through three firings and a reminder of the beauty found in transformation and imperfection.

Each piece has gone through three firings to ensure durability. However, please handle with care to avoid thermal shock. Always warm the piece gradually—avoid pouring boiling water directly into a cold vessel. Although every piece has been tested for heat resistance, mindful use will help preserve its longevity.
