A softly rounded ash-glazed teacup with a hidden ash scene

Natsumi Ishii's "Ash Glazed Round Teacup" is an attractive piece with a calm color and gentle luster created by the ash glaze, which is made from natural ash.
The glaze flows naturally over the clay, creating pools and varying shades here and there, creating a soft, misty landscape.

The rounded shape fits comfortably in the hand, and when you place it in your palm, you can feel its gentle warmth. The rim is just thin enough to make it gentle on the mouth, making your daily tea time more enjoyable.

This piece combines the depth and transparency unique to ash glaze with Ishii's gentle design.
The more you use it, the more the glaze shines and the more the color develops.
This is a teacup that allows you to enjoy the "beauty that quietly changes in everyday life."

Profile of Natsumi Ishii

He is a potter in Kyoto City. He also works under the name "Ishiimoke" and creates unpretentious tableware for everyday use, focusing on Kohiki pottery. The color of the earth faintly peeks through from beneath the white glaze, giving the pottery its rustic and gentle appearance. Despite its simple shape, the balance of the rim lines and foot is playful, making it a vessel that looks strangely good no matter what is served inside. In addition, in collaboration with painter Kawamura Aiko, he adds patterns reminiscent of the world of antique art, giving the pottery a story-telling quality. His works are filled with a soft and familiar world that is imbued with the atmosphere of Kyoto.
