Korean Wood-Fired Ash-Glazed Dotted Tea Cup
Meet the Korean Wood-Fired Ash-Glazed Dotted Tea Cup, handcrafted and fired in a traditional wood-firing kiln by Kimo An of Tousanyo in Gimhae, Korea.
The tea cup features a richly textured body in deep brown tones, accented by Sanggam inlay technique where contrasting clay is embedded into carved dotted patterns. Ash splattering from the wood firing adds depth and character to the form, while the warmth and presence achieved through this process bring a grounded, tactile quality to the tea ritual.
The potter’s mark is hand-carved on the underside.
Dimensions: W 5.6cm x H 3.4cm; 40cc
