Small Blue Celadon Porcelain Kiyomizu Cup

Sale price$59.00

This small Kyoto Kiyomizu Celadon cup is a refined piece that brings the elegance of emerald celadon to the palm of your hand. The delicate balance between the celadon's sophistication and the rustic red clay's outlines on the rim creates a unique aesthetic. With a brown, unglazed base, the cup provides a tactile experience, allowing you to appreciate both the glazed smooth surface and the clay texture.

Achieving the turquoise glare involves a meticulous process of blending kiln pigment and celadon seeds into the clay, resulting in a heartwarming blue after kiln firing. Whether used for green tea or as a dipping sauce cup for Soba noodles, this small cup brings the sublime beauty of celadon blue to your everyday dining experience.

Meet the Artisan

Soryu Gama

The legacy of Wakunami Soryu Potters is a journey spanning four generations deeply rooted in the artistry of Kyoto Kiyomizu Pottery. The origins trace back to the tutelage received from the renowned first-generation Suwa-Sozan, celebrated for his expertise in seiji glazed pottery, a hallmark of Kyoto's ceramic tradition. 

In a unique convergence of traditions, the fourth-generation Wakunami Soryu joined hands with Madoka Ota, hailing from the historic Koishiwara pottery village in Fukuoka prefecture. This union marks the fusion of Kyo-yaki Pottery and Koishiwara Pottery, creating an extraordinary blend that defines the distinctive character of Soryu-gama. Together, Soryu and Madoka embark on a daily artistic journey, shaping their creations on the potter's wheel, with a shared commitment to exploring new expressions through the mesmerizing translucence of bluish seiji glaze.
