Shōmei 照明 Cups

Shōmei 照明 Cups – Radiance in Reactive Glaze

Guided by light and refined through fire, the Shōmei 照明 Cups evoke the quiet brilliance of traditional Japanese glaze work. Each cup is formed from fine ceramic and transformed through a dual-firing process, revealing fluid, unpredictable glazes that shift with every angle—like moonlight shimmering over water.

The reactive glazed surfaces feature naturally layered drips and mineral flows, born from high-temperature firing. These finishes—ranging from luminous frost to volcanic bloom—ensure no two cups are ever the same. Each one is a reflection of its journey through fire and ash.

From glossed porcelain to tactile form, every cup captures the wabi-sabi ideal of quality and uniqueness. Whether used for espresso, tea, or quiet contemplation, the Shōmei Cup invites beauty into the everyday.
