The Nocturne Cup features Hakeme — a traditional Japanese white slip technique, brushed with a hake brush in sweeping strokes. Over this, deep blue glaze is splashed in layers, creating fluid movement and tonal depth across the surface.
Fired at 1230ºC, the result is a quiet interplay of contrast — white slip, blue glaze, and black clay echoing shadow, water, and sky.
Its form draws from the rugged contours of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, reflecting a blend of my Japanese heritage and the textures of northern landscapes.
Each cup is unique, with slight variations in form and pattern.
• Approx size: D 7cm H 10cm
• Colour: White, black, blue
• Handmade in the UK
• Food safe glazes
• Hand wash recommended
• Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking
