WHY THIS SHAPE
It looks simple, until you pick it up
Koke came out of the wood kiln with a green ash glaze pooled in its well, as if moss had found it first. Wide and low, so green tea cools quickly to the temperature it likes.
-
↘ wide, low bowl — tea cools to drinking heat fast
-
↘ ash pooled in the well — no two alike
From the studio — warm the cup with a splash of hot water first. The clay holds that warmth and gives it back to your hands.
Questions, answered
Will mine look exactly like the photo?
Almost — but not exactly, and that's the point. Each piece is thrown by hand and glazed in small kiln loads, so the glaze breaks and speckles a little differently every firing. The piece you receive is one of 9 from this batch.
Is it food-safe? Can it go in the microwave, dishwasher or oven?
Yes to all four. The clay and glazes are food-safe, and the piece is fine in the microwave, the dishwasher and the oven — it was made to be used every day.
What happens when this batch is gone?
There are only 9, and we don't throw the same batch twice. Once they're sold, the firing stays in the shop so you can still see it, and you can leave your email to hear when we fire something like it again.
Can I pick it up at the studio?
Yes. Choose pickup at checkout and pay when you collect — nothing is charged online. We'll write to confirm your pieces and agree a day. The studio is at Danneckerstraße 7, 10245 Berlin, open Tue–Fri 12–18, Sat 10–16, and we hold a confirmed order for 7 days.
Can I order a set, or a custom piece?
Yes — write to hello@claymatter.co and tell us what you have in mind: a set of this piece for your table, or something made to your own size or glaze. We'll reply with what's possible and when the next firing could have it ready.
