Rock It Cup

Fits your everyday tea, coffee or matcha. Simple shape offers versatility in its functions and yet easy on the eyes. Added texture on base.

This piece has a softened curved interior lightly brush glazed for a laminated finish. The exterior is unglazed exposing the texture of the clay, both smooth and softer surfaces. A slight hammering with a sharp edgy rock, salvaged from the banks of Pangong lake in Ladakh, has created light rock-like dents in the base of the cup for an added oomph!

Holds 60 ml.

Porcelain is the 'liquid silk' of the ceramic world. Notoriously difficult & temperamental but capable of breathtaking elegance that no other earth can mimic. Working with porcelain clay feels like sculpting with softened butter, wanting to be coaxed with delicate memories. A stark bone-white canvas allows for microscopic details and a legendary translucency. When fired to maturity, it does not just hold light; it invites it in. In the kiln, the clay undergoes a dramatic transformation, shrinking significantly as it vitrifies. Because it becomes almost liquid at peak temperatures, a piece must be perfectly balanced or it will loose structure and alignment. Mastering porcelain is a high-stakes dance requiring speed and gentleness. When you succeed, you are left with something permanent, ethereal, and precious, the physical embodiment of 'strength in fragility'.

Clay: Pure porcelain from Stroke-on-Trent, UK; Fired at 1223 °C.
