​A beautifully minimal handleless studio pottery cup featuring a sleek satin-black glaze contrasted by a raw, unglazed red stoneware foot ring. A perfect tactile addition to any modern or rustic kitchen.

​The Design & Aesthetic

This striking handleless ceramic cup features a beautifully minimalist, organic design. Merging classic mid-century studio aesthetics with an elegant Wabi-Sabi or Eastern yunomi silhouette, the cup boasts a gracefully flared rim that tapers down to a sturdy, well-defined base.

​The finish relies on a gorgeous textural contrast: a smooth, satin-matte black glaze swathes the interior and exterior walls, ending in a perfectly crisp line just above the foot. The exposed foot ring showcases the raw, unglazed red terracotta stoneware clay body, providing a wonderful warmth and earthy grounding to the piece.
