Stillness of the Cosmos, Captured in Clay
This cup, handcrafted by Ugokyo Studio, evokes the quiet wonder of a night sky reflected on water. The flowing glaze cascades like stardust across a glossy black surface—each piece a singular world shaped by fire and hand.
A Vessel for Contemplation
Its elegant silhouette stands on a pedestal base, offering both balance and presence. Whether used for tea or displayed as an object of art, the cup draws the eye and invites pause—an intimate ritual in form.
Glaze as a Living Landscape
The multi-layered glaze, flowing in tones of ivory, indigo, and deepest black, transforms each cup into a canvas of motion and stillness. No two are alike. The glaze reacts to heat and gravity, leaving a record of the moment it was born in the kiln.
