Espresso Cups - Yuki Series

This espresso cup is part of the Yuki Series, a collection inspired by the stillness of snow. Thrown on the wheel and finished with a soft, flowing white glaze, each cup has its own rhythm—subtle drips, gentle curves, and a natural warmth from the toffee-toned clay beneath.

It’s just the right size for your morning espresso or a slow afternoon break. The small foot lifts it ever so slightly, giving it a sense of lightness and balance in the hand.

Product Details

• Size: 6 cm in height x 5.5 cm in diameter
• Capacity: Approx 150ml

Because each cup is handmade on my pottery wheel, you may notice slight variations in shape, size, and glaze pattern—these subtle differences make every piece one of a kind.

Why You’ll Love It

This little cup is full of quiet charm. The white glaze moves gently across the surface, highlighting the form without hiding the clay underneath. You’ll feel the slight grooves from throwing, the softness of the glaze, and the grounded shape resting comfortably in your hand.

Whether it’s the start of your day or a moment of pause in the afternoon, this piece brings a sense of care and intention to even the smallest rituals.

About the Yuki Series

The Yuki Series is inspired by the softness and stillness of freshly fallen snow. Each piece is made with warm toffee clay and finished with a flowing, glossy white glaze—highlighting the contrast between raw earth and gentle light. The name Yuki, meaning “snow” in Japanese, reflects the quiet beauty, calm, and purity found in this collection.

Every bowl, cup, and holder in the series carries its own character—subtle variations in shape, tone, and glaze that celebrate the handmade process and invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment.

A Little About IKKAI Ceramics

Every piece is handmade by me in my studio. The name "IKKAI" means "one time," reflecting how no two pieces are ever exactly the same. I love creating ceramics that bring beauty, warmth, and character into everyday moments.
