Meet our handicraft
We set out to become a guardian of ancient ceramic craftsmanship —
We’ve made meaningful progress but this is only the beginning.
Throwing the Clay
Setting the clay at the center of the wheel and shaping it gently with both hands. Every touch matters — control and balance define the cup’s form.
Attaching the Handle
Attaching the pre-shaped handle, making sure it’s both ergonomic and visually harmonious, then smooth the joints seamlessly.
Bisque Firing (700–800°C)
The cup is bisque fired at 700–800°C to harden the clay and remove moisture, preparing it for glazing.
Glazing
Glazing is done in four stages: the first two are wash/pour coats (inside first, then outside), the third is a dip for the cup bottom only, and the fourth is a final spray. Each step requires even application and full drying to ensure a stable, textured finish.
starting with a wash/pour coat on the inside to ensure an even, smooth interior surface.Next, applying a wash/pour coat to the exterior to build the first glaze layer and base color.
Dipping Glaze
The third pass is a bottom-only dip to create a richer, distinctive base—improving both heat
Spraying Glaze
Finally, spraying a thin finishing coat to control thickness and gradients, adding delicate texture and luster. Each layer is allowed to dry completely before the next stage or firing.
Smoothing the Foot & Applying Iron Slip
Trimming the foot for stability and applying iron slip to enhance heat resistance.
High-Temperature Firing (1280°C + 18h Cooling)
Finally, the cup is fired at 1280°C. The glaze melts and fuses with the clay. Cooling takes around 18 hours to prevent cracks.
