Unique, exclusive and elegant handmade cup for coffee, tea, matcha, ... made in our Sunrise glaze. Special shape, finished with wavy lines. The "Léonore" cup is turned like a cylinder on the potter's wheel. I create this cup in several stages: first the clay is centered, a small indentation is made, the wall is pulled up and finally a wavy movement is pressed into it with a special wooden tool.

The “Sunrise” collection is made of natural white clay and is finished with a magenta Sunrise glaze on the outside. On the outside of each cup, I intentionally leave a rough clay area on the bottom to contrast with the glazed inside and top.

My work is labeled with the shaped “a” of artisann and is patented.

Ceramics by Ann Van Beersel stands for functionality, beautiful high-quality objects that can be used every day with imperfection as a common thread in my design. The different collections add authenticity to the decorated table and can be endlessly combined into a breakfast set or a complete dinner service.

Making process

• The cup "Léonore" is turned with 280gr clay
• Is turned off at the bottom with the appropriate instruments on the turntable
• Let it dry for one week to make sure the cup is dry
• A biscuit bake in a 950° oven which lasts at least one day and a half
• Is glazed by hand and brush
• Is fired in a glaze kiln at 1250° and lasts two days.

The high bucket is possible because the clay is stoneware clay and can withstand this high temperature. I have also specially designed the glaze recipe for a baking of 1250° and it is unique. This baking and making process determines that the “Sunrise” collection has a high quality, so that pieces jumping, cracking, ... are virtually nil.

Easy to maintain, dishwasher safe and high temperature resistant.
