Namiyosegama Keiko Cup 200 ml

Cup, stoneware

This cup by Namiyosegama Keiko was fired in a traditional anagama wood kiln. Its calm, understated form meets a vibrant surface that was significantly shaped by the fire and the atmosphere in the kiln.

The color palette ranges between light gray, beige, and warm earthy tones. Especially on the inside, a fine interplay of different nuances and textures reveals itself. Ash and high temperatures left natural traces on the clay during the firing, giving the cup its rough, almost stone-like surface.

Precisely these not completely controllable changes are part of the special appeal of anagama firing: Every vessel develops its own character in the fire and thus becomes unique.
