Your brew, in a cup that never repeats itself.
Frequently asked questions
What is "kiln transformation" in ceramic art?
Kiln transformation is a fascinating ceramic firing phenomenon where glazes undergo unexpected color and texture changes at high temperatures due to mineral reactions and atmospheric variations. Each piece becomes a unique "one-of-a-kind" artwork—no two are ever identical, just like snowflakes!
Are your ceramic cups (tea cups, coffee mugs, sake cups) safe for daily use?
Absolutely! All our ceramic cups—whether designed for tea ceremonies, coffee, or sake—are fired at over 1350°C, making them fully vitrified, non-porous, and free from harmful chemicals. They are dishwasher-safe, microwave-friendly, and built for daily enjoyment.
Why does each "crystalline glaze" cup look different?
Our crystalline glaze cups are like miniature geological experiments! The glaze contains minerals that form natural crystal patterns during slow cooling in the kiln. Since temperature flow and cooling rates vary in each firing, every cup develops its own "glacial" or "starry" crystal landscape—a true collaboration between science and art.
Can I use the same cup for tea, coffee, and sake?
Yes, our cups are designed for versatile enjoyment! However, for an enhanced experience, we suggest using a dedicated cup for each type of drink. Tea cups often have thinner walls for better heat sensitivity, coffee mugs are shaped for aroma concentration, and sake cups are sized for traditional sipping—each enhancing the ritual of drinking.
How should I care for my kiln-transformed ceramic cup?
While durable, we recommend gentle handwashing to preserve the delicate crystalline or glaze surfaces. Avoid extreme thermal shocks (like moving from freezer to oven). Each piece is a work of art—treat it with love, and it will age gracefully in your collection!
