Footed cup · Melt series · gold leaf accent · NAOKO HATA CERAMICS

01 Glaze that drips from the rim in the kiln — vivid, uplifting color with no two cups alike
02 Gold leaf melted under the foot — a contrast that gives the piece a composed, artistic presence
03 Suited to tea, coffee, or sake — kaolin clay with traditional techniques

A footed cup from the Melt series by NAOKO HATA CERAMICS — defined by glaze that runs from the rim and a gold leaf accent beneath the foot. The dripping forms in the kiln, making each piece an unrepeatable result of temperature and time.

The gold leaf is melted and applied under the foot, creating a contrast with the dripping glaze above. The two elements balance each other — one spontaneous, one deliberate. Well suited to tea, coffee, or sake.

NAOKO HATA CERAMICS
Founded by ceramic artist Naoko Hata from Mie Prefecture. Her works are made using traditional techniques, but the textures and colors that emerge from her own glaze formulations are entirely her own. "I was researching every day to see if I could create something unique in terms of glaze and color while retaining the texture of the pottery," she says. "For a potter, mixing glazes is a process of finding her own recipe. Researching glazes is still part of my life's work." There is no right answer — and she continues to look for new ones.
