Masako Nakagami 'Speckled White Miniature Tea Cup'
Dimensions - W 5cm x H 4cm
Materials - Locally sourced clay finished with soft white glaze
Method - Functional, Hand wash
Description
A delicate miniature teacup with a softly rounded form and a calm, tactile presence. The matte white glaze is lightly speckled, with darker clay subtly revealing itself more strongly at the rim, adding depth and character. Simple, balanced, and quietly expressive, it’s a small piece made for slow moments and close attention.
