A vessel of good wishes
Every mark changes the light.
The surface is not a pattern applied after the pot is made. Each small strike creates a shallow field of shadow and reflection, leaving a visible record of pressure, repetition, and time.
In the hand, the taller silhouette feels steady rather than formal. Its texture gives the eye something to follow while the form remains devoted to pouring.
The mark of the hand
Every strike remains.
Every pour resolves.
