A vessel of good wishes
Pressure becomes character.
The marks are made one by one, and their differences remain visible in the finished surface. Some catch a highlight; others hold a soft shadow. Together they make the clay feel present under the hand.
A short spout and rounded handle bring the textured body back to the essential gesture of tea: lift, pour, and rest.
