Arita Coffee Cups

Construction / Engineered with a precise, stepped profile that allows multiple cups to stack seamlessly, optimising space while echoing functional industrial design. The exterior is left entirely unglazed, fired to a smooth, tactile matte finish, while the interior features a contrasting high-gloss protective glaze that meets cleanly at the rim.

Material / Slip-cast in Arita, Japan, using a custom-blended clay derived entirely from natural Touseki (porcelain stone). The raw formulation is enriched with controlled additions of iron and sand, introducing subtle, unpredictable mineral speckles that guarantee no two vessels are identical.

Fit & Function / Sized at a versatile 230ml capacity: perfectly proportioned for flat whites, filter coffee, americano or standard cappuccinos. The stepped geometric ledge acts as a natural, ergonomic resting point for the fingers, providing a secure grip and insulating the hand from heat. The non-porous interior glaze is strictly engineered to resist coffee oils and prevent staining over time.
