Porcelain nerikomi cup 2nd

$65.00 $80.00

Handcrafted from fine Australian porcelain, these cups are inlaid with locally sourced clays from the Gold Coast Hinterland and Tamborine Mountain. Their distinctive patterns are created using an adaptation of the Japanese nerikomi technique, where local clays and coloured porcelain are layered and sliced to form designs that are structural, not just surface decoration.

The pieces are polished to a silky smooth finish, allowing the natural translucency of porcelain to shine through. Liquid quartz ceramic sealer provides durability.

Perfect for both hot and cold drinks, these cups are delicate treasures to be enjoyed daily. To ensure their longevity, please hand wash and avoid microwave use.

N.B. on sale- This small cup has a minor hairline fissure from the firing process, which does not affect its function.

Small cup: 8.5cm wide 7cm high

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

All of my ceramic pieces sold are useable and made to store liquids. The body of each piece is made using one of Australia’s finest porcelains, fired to 1280°C and fully vitrified.  Due to the nature of combining various stoneware, raw minerals and porcelain clays, your work may have some very superficial (thin and only surface deep) spilts on the outside. This is rare, but does not change the function of the work. If your cup/vessel leaks, of course please contact me, however, all cups are checked and tested before sale.

If your ceramic piece has not been glazed, rather has a polished finish, I have applied Liquid Quartz ceramic sealer, which is a food safe, permeating sealer designed for use on unglazed ceramic ware.

Careful hand washing of your ceramic ware is advised.
