Non-Transparency Espresso Cup
Description
This handmade porcelain espresso cup is from our NON-TRANSPARENCY collection.
Each cup is unique. The cup is glazed on the inside. The outside has a satin matt surface and is unglazed. This espresso cup feels smooth in your hands and is easy to clean. The cup comes carefully wrapped as a gift.
The extra translucency is obtained by using the 14th century ‘rice-grain’ technique. You can actually see your coffee or tea true the glazed ‘holes’.
JHA PORCELAIN uses the highest quality porcelain clay known for its strength, hardness, whiteness and translucency. Any tiny imperfection and variation are signs of the uniqueness of the art object.
