Kohiki Cup and Saucer

This cup and saucer set was made using the kohiki technique, meaning “powder pull” in Japanese, involving coating a darker clay base with a layer of white liquid clay slip to create a soft, matte finish. Brown hues from the darker clay peek through the milky-white surface, adding depth and giving the piece an earthy, rustic character. Each kohiki piece is handmade, so no two are exactly alike. With use and time, its surface develops a unique patina, giving the set a special, one-of-a-kind character. Rich, natural colors, tactile stoneware, and ridged detailing along the body beautifully embody the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The saucer doubles as a small plate for serving sweets, pastries, or light snacks. Thick stoneware helps retain the warmth of your favorite beverage, while a well-balanced handle provides a comfortable, secure grip. Whether paired with tea or freshly brewed coffee, this cup and saucer set invites you to slow down and savor the simple pleasures of everyday life.
