Red Bead Etched Coffee Cup and Saucer

The piece features a warm plant-ash glaze that renders soft beige and pale grey-green tones. The glazed surface naturally forms fine crystals, speckles, and subtle color variations, resembling the residual ashes of burned vegetation or the quiet imprints left by time on the vessel. Designed in a minimalist, straight-sided silhouette, the mug body is encircled by a single delicate incised line, accented by a few tiny red beads. The serene, rustic glaze contrasts subtly with the vibrant red dots—like seeds scattered across the earth—infusing the artwork with a gentle breath of life. The wide, circular handle echoes the expansive saucer, while the hand-carved radial lines on the plate's surface lend a sense of lightness and rich texture to the entire tableware set.
