Jester Cat Hand-thrown Wabi-sabi Tea Cup
Regular price
$41.90
Design Story
This cup is centered around a whimsical “clown cat” character—an expressive, slightly surreal feline figure that introduces humor, softness, and emotional unpredictability into everyday objects.
It reflects a wabi-sabi inspired philosophy: beauty found in imperfection, humor, and irregularity.
Handmade Process
Each cup is fully hand-thrown using traditional wheel techniques, then shaped again manually to preserve organic asymmetry. The surface illustration is painted by hand using underglaze pigments.
No molds are used, meaning every cup has a distinct silhouette and facial expression.
The firing process locks both structure and illustration into the ceramic body permanently.
Material Characteristics
Coarse ceramic clay base with natural texture
High-temperature firing for strength and stability
Hand-applied underglaze painting
Slightly irregular rim and body for wabi aesthetic
The material is intentionally tactile rather than polished.
Emotional Experience
This cup is designed to feel alive in character. The clown cat expression adds personality to daily routines, creating a subtle emotional interaction between object and user.
It is not serious—it is playful, slightly chaotic, and human.
