Know before you buy
The unglazed, polished porcelain is surprisingly resilient, but like all matte ceramics, it can absorb oils over time. We recommend rinsing the cup shortly after use to maintain its pristine white finish.
The unglazed finish has a unique, velvety texture that feels soft and organic rather than slick. It offers a secure, comfortable grip that feels substantial yet delicate.
While the porcelain is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the unglazed surface and prevent potential chipping or staining from harsh dishwasher detergents.
Because each piece is thrown on a wheel by hand, you should expect slight variations in shape, weight, and dimensions. These subtle imperfections are intentional and celebrate the human touch behind the design.
Yes, one of the defining characteristics of this piece is its translucency. When held up to the light, the porcelain reveals a beautiful, ethereal glow that highlights the fluid nature of the material.
