Teacup

The design of this ceremony cup for drinking tea is created following the Japanese raku firing technique. The surface of the teacup is uneven, ranging from smooth to rough. The glaze is crackled and only covers two thirds of the teacup's surface. The uncovered part presents a brown colour, while the glazed parts possess a cream-like colour which heavily varies in warm natural tones. The cup is rather wide and big for current European tradition and the heavy weight is centred on the bottom part.
