A hand thrown stoneware teacup paired with a glossy white glaze breaking into oranges on the inside. Also has a couple of specs of iron oxide on the outside of the cup.
With a lot of my work inspired by Japanese ceramics this piece bears the Yunomi form, a yunomi is a traditional Japanese tea cup used for drinking tea. The "yu" in yu-nomi means hot water, and the "nomi" means to drink. The absence of a handle is intended for a more sensory experience, to allow the drinker to feel the warmth of the tea and to use the temperature of the cup to know when the tea is ready to drink. Its small size and shape should make it fit snuggly in your hand.
