The piece

Snow landscape wraps the cup, ink-wash layered in washes. Fully hand-made one-of-a-kind, usable as a drinking cup.

Reading the snow

An everyday-friendly snow cup: ink-wash landscape spreads with the body, distant mountains and near trees each settling in their place within a 7.6 cm mouth. Painted without noise, the quietest, most watchable on the tea table.

Ink-wash divided tones, snow born of the brush. The wall is straight with a curve; every stroke must follow the wheel’s constant speed—constant speed is the hardest-to-distinguish yet most honest difference between hand-painting and decals.

One-of-a-kind, unique. Collectors new to snow-scene porcelain often start with such a cup: price between daily use and collection, affection between ‘use it every day’ and ‘reluctant to use it’.

H5 ⌀7.6 cm, wide mouth eases the pour, best for the morning’s first brew. Raise the cup over years and the glaze warms like jade—snow ages, vessel ages, all time’s good.

From the studio

First snow falls on the cup wall, ink layered. One sip and you enter the mountains.
