Settling warmth, movement, and material memory into a single form, this ceramic Yam cup expresses the quiet richness of wood-fired stoneware. The softly rounded silhouette feels grounded and comforting in the hand, shaped slowly to preserve subtle shifts that make each piece feel personal rather than precise. Layers of ember orange, ash grey, and earthy cream gather across the surface like a changing horizon, guided by a painterly sensibility where clay becomes both medium and moment. Crafted in stoneware and wood-fired, the cup is shaped by drifting ash, wandering flames, and shifting kiln atmospheres, creating natural flashing, soft textures, and markings that can never be repeated. Ideal for tea, sake, espresso, or mindful sipping, the form brings warmth, depth, and a tactile calm to everyday rituals.

Process & Craft
Each yam cup is handmade by master craftspeople using traditional studio pottery methods, beginning with wheel-thrown forms shaped from unique clay mixes prepared in-house. Natural, mineral-rich glazes are applied by hand, drawing from Japanese Mingei and Korean Buncheong influences that guide the studio’s design sensibility. Fired at nearly 1300°C, the stoneware develops remarkable strength and a glaze surface shaped by the dynamic play of fire, ash, and high-temperature reactions inside the kiln. Every piece is quietly distinct — a reflection of the kiln’s temperament, the hands that shaped it, and the experienced designers who curate its final aesthetic.
Sustainability Practices
Made in serene, low-waste pottery studios that prioritize mindful production. All materials used — clays, glazes, oxides — are natural and non-toxic. High-temperature firing ensures long product life, reducing breakage and replacement cycles. Crafted in small batches to support ethical production and minimize overconsumption. Each mug embodies a slow craft philosophy, valuing longevity over mass production.
