A Thousand Years of Craft, One Cup in Your Hands

Nerikomi is an ancient ceramic technique originating from the Tang and Song dynasties. Different colored clays are repeatedly kneaded and twisted together, then wheel-thrown into shape — allowing the patterns to emerge naturally from within. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art shaped by the hands of a skilled artisan.

✨ Every cup is truly unique. The flowing patterns of Nerikomi are shaped by the natural movement of clay on the wheel — no two cups are ever identical. The piece you receive belongs to you alone.

Product Highlights

• Authentic Nerikomi Technique: Patterns emerge naturally from the clay itself — not printed or painted. Consistent inside and out, they will never fade or peel.

• Wide Bowl Shape: The generously wide rim is ideal for latte art and creates an inviting, open drinking experience.
• Food-Safe Ceramic: Made from high-fired stoneware, free from lead and cadmium — safe for everyday use.
• 270ml Capacity: Perfect for flat whites, lattes, cappuccinos, and everyday hot drinks.
