Black Moon Espresso Cup
Description
Handcrafted Porcelain Espresso Cup with Tactile Relief
This espresso cup is individually handcrafted in our Florence studio. The surface is first hand-painted with black porcelain slip, then patterned by hand using shellac. A layer of porcelain is carefully washed away, revealing a refined raised relief. This meticulous process ensures that every cup is truly one of a kind.
The tactile surface invites touch and transforms your daily espresso into a mindful ritual. As the cup rests in your hand, the textured pattern engages your fingertips, creating a calming, grounding sensory experience.
The design is minimalist with Scandinavian influences, featuring a glazed interior for easy cleaning and a satin matte exterior that highlights the natural beauty of porcelain. Available in classic white or a striking black-and-white contrast.
Created for those who value refined design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the quiet luxury of handmade objects—this cup turns an everyday moment into something special.
