WRF Flat Bottom Cup
$31.00
Description:
The WRF Flat Bottom Cup balances utility with a distinctly contemporary form. Its wide, stable base and open profile create a generous presence in the hand, while the low proportions lend the cup a grounded, structured quality. Finished in Mist, a soft glaze with subtle tonal variation, the surface reveals the movement of the firing process and the character of the clay beneath.
Handmade by ceramicist WRF, each cup reflects a thoughtful approach to proportion, material, and daily use. The broad form brings attention to the richness of the glaze, while its versatile size makes it a natural companion for coffee, tea, or water.
Variation:
Every WRF piece is handmade. There will be slight variations in form, size, color, and shape. These differences are treasured as a sign of the handcrafted nature of WRF.
