This cup was made on the potter's wheel. Crushed calcite and sand were wedged into the stoneware clay body and formed on the potter’s wheel, brushed with slips and atmospherically fired in a soda-kiln to ^11, 2345 F.. The interior of the teabowl is glazed with a peach blossom shino I love the flashing marks in this piece.

Height: 2 1/4 in. Width: 3 1/4 in.

I am an avid traveler and collect seashells, sand, ash, rocks and clay from the places I visit and incorporate them into my work. Each pot tells a unique story. This particular piece, uses calcite from seashells and sand collected in the San Juan islands.

This teabowl is dishwasher safe and great for everyday use. Can be used as tea bowl, chawan, or matcha bowl. Minimalist, wabi-sabi contemporary aesthetic. All items are handmade by the artist. The teacups fit perfect in the hands due to its organic form.

I make pots and sculptural vessels inspired by the landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

Approximate measurements: H: 3 in. W: 3.5 in.

All materials are non toxic and dishwasher safe.

I pack every item very carefully.
