Kurinuki Cup Nº20 is a hand-carved sculptural small cup crafted using the Japanese kurinuki technique. Carved from red high-fired stoneware and left partly unglazed to preserve the raw feel of the clay, it features an earthy, sculptural silhouette with a satin dark brown glaze on the interior and rim.

Unlike other pottery techniques, kurinuki begins with a solid block of clay. Each cup is slowly carved from a single mass of stoneware clay, allowing the form to emerge through subtraction rather than addition. This intuitive process creates textured, sculptural surfaces and organic asymmetry, as the material and hands guide its character. No two pieces are exactly alike.

Each cup is individually numbered within the limited Nº20 series.

Product care

Ondou pieces are crafted as functional art objects. While made from high-fired stoneware fired to 1220 °C — which makes them highly durable and resistant to everyday wear — they are still ceramic and can break if dropped or subjected to strong impact. With proper care, they will last for many years.
GENERAL CARE
– Avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock). For example, do not pour boiling water into a cup that has been stored in the fridge, and avoid running cold water over a very hot piece.
– Wash using a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive metal scrubbers.
– Basic hygiene rule: do not leave pieces soaking in a sink with food residues for extended periods.
– Allow the piece to dry fully before storing in a closed cabinet.
Dishwasher use

Yes, but hand-washing is recommended. Dishwashers and harsh detergents won't break the item itself, but they can gradually soften or wear down the decoration and alter its original finish. Use at your own discretion.
Microwave use

Not recommended – clay is a highly conductive material and the piece will become very hot to the touch.
Handmade nature

Each item is handmade and shows the marks of this process, including intentional “imperfections.” The products pictured reflect the overall shape, size and color of the piece. However, each item is unique, with differences in glaze, texture and slight variations in size, shape and capacity. Colors may also appear differently depending on lighting conditions and your screen. Dimensional variations can be up to ~1cm, capacity ~50ml, and weight ~50g.
