This hand-carved ceramic tea tumbler is made using the traditional kurinuki technique, where the form is shaped from a single solid block of clay. Designed as a handleless tea and coffee tumbler, this piece holds 400 ml and offers a grounded, tactile surface intended for everyday use. The slow, manual carving process leaves visible tool marks, giving the cup a raw, expressive character.
The tumbler is named Ground, reflecting the earthy tone of the clay and the solid, balanced presence of the form. This ceramic tumbler is created entirely by hand without molds or mechanical tools and exists as a one-of-a-kind piece, shaped with attention to proportion, weight, and surface.
Use
This handmade ceramic tumbler is suitable for tea, coffee, or long, unhurried drinks. The handleless shape allows the cup to rest naturally in the hands, enhancing warmth and tactile connection. Its generous volume makes it comfortable for daily rituals, from morning coffee to evening tea. Due to its durability and versatile design, this bowl can be not only an element of the tea ceremony, but also a stylish piece of decor.
Materials & making
The tumbler is made from high-fire stoneware clay and finished with food-safe glazes. It is handbuilt and high-temperature fired to ensure durability for regular use. Natural variations in color, texture, and surface are a result of the firing process and the handmade method.
