The Form: A graphic, modern silhouette with a focused architecture. While sharing the Noir finish of matte black underglaze and glossy white interiors, No. II is distinguished by its tapered mouth. The wheel-trimmed ribbing provides a rhythmic, tactile experience across the tapered form.

The Spirit: Noir is about the mood of the set. It’s designed for a casual evening session, a piece that holds its own on a curated shelf. It’s for the smoker who seeks a level of craft in a form that feels both ancient and contemporary.

The Making: Thrown on the wheel and meticulously trimmed to create a weighted, balanced form. The black underglaze is applied to the raw stoneware to maintain a stone-like texture. Each piece is a unique record of the maker’s hand.

Details:

• Capacity: Approx. 20 oz of water recommended.

• Hardware: Removable ceramic downstem included.

• Dimensions: 5.5 x 6.25 x 7.75”

The Mark of the Hand: As with any individually handcrafted artifact, subtle variations in proportion, texture, and glaze are inherent to the medium. These nuances are not flaws, but the record of the object's making.
