Cups in a "pale moon" glaze by Terunobu Hirata from February 2025.

Featuring wide, sculpted, twisting facets and finished in a luminous blue glaze, dripped over dark stoneware, these elegant vessels are joy to hold, behold and to drink from.

Each cup in this series of two is slightly different - each perfect on its own but also lovely as a pair.

Terunobu Hirata arrived in Australia from Osaka, Japan in 1973.

Originally trained as a chef, he moved to pottery 25 years ago, working in stoneware and porcelain.

His designs are bold and contemporary with lustrous glazes. A nod to the past with organic style glazing partnered with perfectly proportioned shapes, Hirata’s work is a joy to live with.
