Sunset Moss

Sunset Moss, five wood‑fired ceramic cups captures the quiet beauty of everyday rituals, blending warm ivory tones with soft caramel gradients that resemble morning mist and sunset light. Each cup is carefully wheel‑thrown by a craftsman, then fired for days in a traditional wood kiln. During firing, ash and flame paint the surface with spontaneous markings and flowing color bands, so no two cups ever turn out exactly the same. This natural variation is what makes wood‑fired ware so coveted by collectors and lovers of handcrafted tableware.

The cups have a gently thickened body that rests securely in the hand, offering a reassuring weight that suits both slow mornings and late‑night wind‑down moments. The rims are finely polished to feel smooth and comfortable on the lips, allowing coffee, tea or milk to flow easily with every sip. Each handle has its own personality—from the minimal single loop to a playful triple‑ring design—making the set visually interesting while also practical to hold. Lined up on a shelf or placed casually on a fabric‑draped table, they naturally form a calm, Japanese‑inspired still life.

With the high‑temperature firing, the clay body becomes dense and strong, while the inner surface remains smooth and easy to clean. The ceramic material is neutral to taste and does not interfere with the flavor of your drink, making these cups especially suitable for specialty coffee, hand‑drip brews, roasted tea or herbal infusions. Rinsing with water and using a soft sponge is usually all you need for daily care. Over time, a gentle patina may develop with regular use, subtly recording the way you live with these cups.

The soft gradient from ivory to ochre, together with the delicate traces of ash, makes each cup photogenic from every angle. Whether you are styling a home coffee corner, shooting product photos, or simply enjoying a quiet drink by the window, this set helps you create an atmosphere of understated warmth and wabi‑sabi charm. It pairs beautifully with linen textiles, wooden trays, and simple home decor, fitting right into both modern and rustic interiors.

Sold together as a five‑piece set, the cups feature slightly different silhouettes and handle shapes, so each family member or guest can naturally choose a favorite. They are ideal for personal use, as a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift, or as part of a curated café presentation. Because every piece is handmade and wood‑fired, slight variations in size, capacity, and color are to be expected and appreciated as part of the design. If you are looking for a set of cups that is not only functional, but also quietly tells a story of fire, clay, and time, these wood‑fired ceramic cups will be a meaningful addition to your daily coffee and tea moments.
