  • Thrown & carved by one person
  • Food-safe glaze
  • Broken in transit? We remake it

The same plain straight-sided form as No. 1, given a bolder drawing: a single blossom opened wide enough to wrap the whole cup, every petal filled with close parallel lines that follow its curve.

Where No. 1 is speckled and busy with leaves, this one is nearly all flower. The dark clay shows only in the narrow shapes left between petals — which is what makes the white read as bright as it does.

The rim and interior are finished in a dark glossy glaze. Zhao Ruyan is signed on the foot.

Size
200 ml (7 fl oz) · 9 cm (3.5 in) tall · 8 cm (3.1 in) wide
Material
Speckled stoneware, blended in the studio from Yixing ore with kaolin, feldspar, quartz and grog. Fired to 1260 °C.
Care
Hand wash only — warm water, a soft sponge, a soft brush for the carved lines. Microwave and fridge safe. Not for the dishwasher: the heat and detergent dull the carved surface over time.
Maker
Thrown, carved and finished by Zhao Ruyan in Yixing.
