Tall Porcelain Cup

A perfectly formed tall porcelain cup thrown on the potter's wheel by ceramicist Adam Frew in the North of Ireland. Adam favours simple forms which he uses as a canvas for spontaneous mark-making, a contrast to the finely thrown porcelain. Sharp lines, crayon scribbles, brush marks, and sponged-back sections reflect the energy and passion Adam invests in his craft. 

Whether you're a tea or a generous cuppa coffee person, this cup is a joy to use. Perfectly functional, it is incredibly tactile and feels comfortable in the hand. We have categorised this style into three options: waves, loops, or brushstrokes. As each is hand-painted, variances will occur. 

Dimensions: Each porcelain cup measures 8.5cm in diameter (11cm including handle) x 9cm tall. Signed on the base with a simple maker's mark of AF. 

Adam Frew is one of Ireland's most well-regarded ceramicists. Adam makes clean, simple forms on the potters' wheel. Frew is based in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, and works exclusively in porcelain, creating thrown functional and large one-off pots. His perfectly formed tableware is decorated in spontaneous mark-making, a contrast to the finely thrown porcelain. Sharp lines, crayon scribbles, brush marks, and sponged back sections reflect the energy and passion Adam invests in his craft. 

As each piece is handmade in delicate porcelain, we would recommend hand-washing this item. The dimensions may vary slightly. Each one is sold individually. 

Adam undertakes each aspect of production himself, under the one roof!  From making his own glazes, constructing the vessels and firing them. He recycles all of his unfired clay, and where possible biodegradable packaging is used to protect the finished porcelain pieces. As Adam works from his home in Northern Ireland, it's a short walk to the studio!
