Step 1 — Throwing: The First Breath

Fresh clay on the wheel. Hands find the rhythm, and the form begins to rise from the center.

Step 2 — Trimming: Shaping the Silhouette

The leather-hard piece is turned. Excess clay is carved away to reveal a precise, weightless edge.

Step 3 — Biscuit Firing: Entering the Fire

One by one, the bone-dry forms are lowered into the kiln. The fire will take the soft clay and turn it into something ready to hold a line.

A breath-held dip. The unglazed bisque drinks in the glaze, and the canvas is born.

Fired a second time, the glaze melts into glass. The brushstroke disappears beneath the surface — not gone, but forever locked in light.

13

Step 13 —Glaze Firing: The Second Birth

Returned to the kiln. The glaze vitrifies into a soft, glass-like hush. Light enters the porcelain.

The original behind the spin.

The original behind the spin. Sixteen 1.2mm holes, sixteen stainless steel lily-of-the-ley charms — each one hand-threaded, tuned by touch, and set to rotate with quiet ease. No machines, no shortcuts. Just raw clay, patient hands, and the slow rhythm of a craft that cannot be rushed.

The Flying Bird Cup is in the forest.

The hand-drawn lines are all underglaze colors, which have passed food contact certification and lead/cadmium release tests. They are as safe as a forest. (However, it should be noted that the lily flower decoration is made of alloy material and will oxidize over time. It can be cleaned and restored to its luster.)
