Espresso Cup - Traditional Korean Ceramic

This handcrafted Espresso Cup is made using traditional Korean ceramic techniques, specifically Jinsa pottery, which features a distinctive reduction firing process in a gas kiln. The cup is fired at a high temperature range of 1250°C to 1300°C, which causes subtle color variations in the glaze, giving each piece a unique and beautiful finish.

The glaze used in this espresso cup contains copper, and it undergoes a high-temperature reduction firing process, known as ko-hwadon reduction, which enhances the natural colors and gives the piece a stunning, deep-toned appearance. This method reduces the copper (Cu) during the firing, producing unique color effects that cannot be replicated in other firing processes. The result is a beautifully finished, durable ceramic cup with rich, earthy hues.

The use of a gas kiln adds to the uniqueness of each cup, as the atmosphere inside the kiln influences the final color and texture of the glaze, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
