Stroke of Flame Yam Cup

Gathering contrast, fire, and instinctive mark-making into a compact form, this ceramic Yam cup expresses the bold character of wood-fired stoneware. The softly rounded silhouette feels steady and comforting in the hand, shaped slowly to retain subtle shifts that make each piece feel alive rather than uniform. Dramatic fields of warm ochre and deep charcoal move across the surface like fragments of shadow and flame, guided by a painterly sensibility where clay becomes both canvas and memory. Crafted in stoneware and wood-fired, the cup is shaped by wandering flames, settling ash, and shifting kiln atmospheres, creating natural flashing, layered textures, and unrepeatable markings. Ideal for tea, sake, espresso, or slow moments of pause, the form brings visual energy, tactility, and a grounded presence to everyday rituals.
