Item details

These LIMITED EDITION slip-cast porcelain cups made from a plaster mould that I made from one of my carved kurinuki cups. Although the cups are cast in exactly the same mould, each one is entirely unique. You will notice some soft surface undulations and that they are not entirely symmetrical which I think adds to their charm (see notes under inspiration for more information about kurinuki).

Time is taken to refine each cup as it comes out of the mould, so slight differences occur the the outer form which gives them personality.

The colour of the cups is determined by the colour of the slip itself, so the colour you see is the actual body of the clay.

Once bisque fired (the first firing), they are simply dipped in a transparent glaze and then fired for a second time to make them suitable for food use.

These handleless cups have a lovely soft quality and are very light to hold in the hands. Perfect for your favourite warming drink on cold winter days...

Size: height 6.5cm, diameter 8/9cm as not perfectly round!, base hexagon approximately 5cm.

Price includes postage to UK.

During lockdown I did an online course with the expert ceramicist Annette Lindenberg, well known for her Kurinuki carved pieces.

Kurinuki is the Japanese craft of hollowing out and carving a vessel from a single block of clay. It is a very meditative and therapeutic process which is tied to the aesthetic theory of wabi-sabi which centres on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. In wabi-sabi there is beauty in simplicity, authenticity and imperfection.

I started off making individual carved kurinuki pieces but I was interested to see how a plaster cast of one of my carvings would turn out… it was a quite complicated four-piece mould but I think you will agree that the results have been worth it.
