A 230ml porcelain cup made in Arita, Japan. Its stepped profile recalls stackable café glassware and gives the fingers a natural resting point. The exterior is left unglazed for grip, while the glazed interior resists staining. Iron and sand in the clay create subtle variation between cups.

The cup takes its stepped profile from stackable café glassware. The ledge gives the fingers a natural resting point and allows multiple cups to sit securely together.
Two surfaces answer different needs. The unglazed exterior provides a tactile grip, while the glazed interior is non-porous and resists staining from coffee.

Arita has produced porcelain since the early seventeenth century. Slowform works with a local workshop whose knowledge of porcelain stone, casting and firing informed the cup’s material and surface. Each cup is made in Arita from a custom clay blend containing iron and sand.
