Facet Rock Cup

Oji Masanori for Jicon

• Introduction

  I am a facet rock cup. I was born out of a delicate porcelain ceramic. But don't be fooled by my pristine white exterior. I stand my ground, firm as a rock.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  These artisanal handle free cups serve everything from water to wine. The shapes are glazed in a soft white with subtle antiquing (Fuchi-Sabi) on the free-formed rim. Facets run vertically down the straight sides for an added textural element, while enhancing the grip.

  Facet Rock Cup was curated by Angélique Chmielewski
