Kurinuki Cup Nº2 is a hand-carved sculptural ceramic cup crafted using the Japanese kurinuki technique. It features a white matte glaze, unevenly applied over spontaneously carved light beige clay, highlighting the texture and marks where glaze and clay meet — elegant yet entirely unpredictable.

Unlike other pottery techniques, kurinuki begins with a solid block of clay. Each cup is slowly carved from a single mass of stoneware, 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.

This cup is both functional and collectible, ideal for mindful drinking rituals or display in thoughtful spaces.

Each cup is individually numbered within the limited Nº2 series.

Product care

Although Ondou products are intended for everyday use, they are also functional art objects and require handling with care. While the high-fired stoneware ceramic is extremely durable and can resist scratches and common damages, it is still brittle and can break when too much force is applied. Avoid exposing your pottery to sudden temperature changes, such as placing a cold dish in the microwave or a hot dish in cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and damage.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes, but like with all hand-made objects, hand-washing is recommended.

Is it microwave safe?

Yes, although we do not recommend using ceramics in the microwave because clay is a highly conductive material and the piece will become very hot to the touch.

Each item is unique

Each item is handmade and will show the marks of this process including intentional “imperfections”. The products pictured reflect the overall image, size, and colour of the piece. However, each piece is unique with differences in applications of glaze and slight variations in size, shape, and capacity. The dimensional error can be ~ 1cm, the capacity ~ 50ml, the weight ~ 50g.
