Story

 

Layers of ash settle softly into the clay, bringing together warm whites, pale greys, and quiet violets that shift with the light. 

Its rounded form rests comfortably in the hand. The small handle keeps the gesture close and relaxed. 

In Geng Daojin's wood-fired series, he relinquishes part of the making to the kiln itself. Ash, flame and atmosphere leave their own quiet record on the clay, creating surfaces that feel less applied than discovered.

 

*One-of-a-kind piece.

Care

Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water, mild detergent, and a soft sponge. Take care around the textured wood-fired surface, and avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and sudden changes in temperature. 

Rinse thoroughly and allow the cup to dry completely before storing. Dishwasher and microwave use are not recommended. 

Meet the maker

Many of Geng’s vessels are formed through a single, continuous throwing process, with the principal shape established directly on the wheel rather than substantially redefined through trimming afterwards.

He compares this uninterrupted movement to Chinese calligraphy: from the first gesture to the last, the energy of the line must remain connected. This approach allows the finished vessel to retain the immediacy, rhythm, and subtle variation of the throwing process.
