This Anagama-fired bowl cup captures the full drama of wood-fired alchemy. Its rounded form displays a tapestry of natural ash effects: creamy golden deposits flowing into smoky blacks, speckled craters formed by intense heat, and soft blushes of red born from deep reduction. The exterior shows strong atmospheric movement, while the interior’s darker, heavily textured surface adds depth and character.
The lip is gently uneven, giving the bowl a warm, organic presence, and the small, slightly raised foot provides a quiet sense of lift. Whether used for tea, or as a display vessel, this piece invites slow looking and tactile appreciation.
Resonating with the expressive, fire-driven approach embraced by contemporary ceramic artists such as Beatričė Kelerienė, this bowl cup stands as a unique record of the kiln’s breath — shaped by flame, time, and the unpredictability of natural ash.
