Ceramic Christmas Tree – Inyo #02

Calm, minimal, and full of quiet warmth.
Each Ceramic Christmas Tree from the Inyo Series is thrown on the wheel and hollow inside, shaped slowly by hand and finished with a glossy Tenmoku glaze that flows and settles in its own natural way.

The glaze moves beautifully over the clay — deep brown and black tones blending together with a soft, natural sheen. It’s simple and elegant, full of quiet depth and small variations that make each one truly unique.

Display it on its own for a calm, minimal look, or group a few together to create your own quiet winter scene.

Why You’ll Love It

The Inyo Christmas Tree captures calm through contrast — glossy dark glaze over warm clay, simple form with subtle movement. The tenmoku finish brings a richness that feels both earthy and elegant.

Because each tree is wheel-thrown and hollow inside, it’s light to hold yet full of presence. The flowing glaze catches light softly, revealing deep brown and almost-black reflections that make every piece one of a kind.

It’s a quiet, timeless piece that brings warmth and stillness to your home — simple, balanced, and beautifully handmade.

Display it on its own for a soft, minimal look, or group a few together for a simple festive display that still feels timeless.

About the Inyo Series

The Inyo Series began as a quiet experiment. I was curious what might happen if I dipped each piece in two different glazes — one dark and rich tenmoku, the other soft and transparent clear glaze. The result reminded me of a landscape: layered, spontaneous, and full of contrast.

“Inyo” is the Japanese word for yin and yang — and this series reflects that idea in both form and finish. Where the two glazes meet, something new and unexpected always appears. Some flows are bold, others gentle — each piece completely unique.

Every item in the series is made slowly and intuitively by hand. The variation in the glazes gives them a sense of quiet movement, and a presence that goes beyond function. 

Perfect for anyone who appreciates both the bold and the simple.

A Little About IKKAI Ceramics

Every piece you see here is handmade by me in my studio. I named my brand "IKKAI," which means "one time," because no two pieces are ever exactly the same. The name also reflects something personal—my studio is on the first floor, where every unique creation comes to life.
