cup from the ‘taksu’ collection

shaped during a month-long residency in bali, a time of deep creative exploration guided by the island’s rhythm and beauty.
‘taksu’ is a Balinese word for sacred creative presence — a quiet force that lives in people, places, and objects.
 
each vessel is wheel-thrown using stoneware clay, then glazed with materials developed locally at mahteh ceramic studio and fired in a gas kiln. the glaze & clay respond to the gas kiln firing process, creating unique shades and colors.

/ this cup is only one of its kind /
 
it holds approximately 80–100ml
a size that feels intimate and well-suited for quiet tea rituals or small servings of coffee.
 
every cup from this collection carries the imprint of the island, shaped by its pace and elements.
