Black Half-Glazed Espresso Cup

Some cups ask to be held, not just used.

This black espresso cup is wheel-thrown from stoneware in a matte black glaze — the exterior left deliberately unglazed, revealing the natural texture of the clay beneath. The contrast between the raw outer surface and the smooth glazed interior gives each piece a quiet intensity.

About This Piece

The half-glaze technique means the interior is fully sealed and food safe, while the exterior remains unglazed — warm to the touch and visually bold. Each cup is fired at high temperatures, and because it’s made by hand, subtle variations in form and surface are part of what makes it yours.
