YUNOMI (湯のみ) TEA CUP - soda-fired translucent crackle porcelain (no 1 / taller)

Soda firing is a vapour-glazing processes where  soda ash (sodium carbonate), or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is introduced into the kiln at a high temperature. The soda vaporizes, and sodium binds to the silica in the clay surface, forming a hard, glassy glaze with varying colours and textures. 

This small batch series from spring firings is glazed with a translucent pale green cracle glaze, highlighted by smoky grey on the rims. 

This yunomi (湯のみ) is a taller form of a Japanese teacup with no handle, in contrast with a teabowl which is lower and wider.
