Designed by slowform and made in Arita, Japan, this porcelain cup reinterprets the stepped form of mid-century stackable café glassware. Its unglazed exterior provides a smooth, tactile grip, while the glazed interior resists staining from coffee. The mineral-rich Touseki clay is blended with iron and sand, giving each cup a subtly varied surface
Arita Porcelain
The town of Arita, located in the Saga Prefecture of Japan, is globally revered as the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, with an archival heritage spanning over 400 years. Since the discovery of high-quality porcelain stone in the region during the early 17th century, Arita’s historic kilns have mastered the delicate balance between structural density and fine-grain texture. Slowform collaborates directly with a traditional workshop in Arita to combine this centuries-old material mastery with contemporary, functional silhouette, ensuring each piece carries the weight of history into modern daily rituals.
