This matching pair of cups is hand-carved from coarse stoneware clay, utilizing deliberate facets to create a textured, organic form.
The unglazed, matte exterior features a rough, sand-colored surface with subtle chiseled grooves. In contrast, the interior is coated in a smooth, light grey-blue glaze that breaks over the rim into a warm, toasted iron-brown line. The pairing highlights a balanced interplay between raw, earth-like exteriors and highly functional, glazed interiors.
