Delicate and refined, Kazuya Ishida's blue spiral works are the epitome of his signature spiral technique and extensive firing expertise. Each porcelain cup has been thrown and hand-carved with expert precision, lightly glazed with cobalt and brought to life in a traditional Anagama kiln. Almost too beautiful to use, they contain tiny worlds that glisten in the light and are best experienced when held in the hands.

Kazuya Ishida was born into a family of potters in Bizen, Japan, where he still works and lives. He's a master at the traditional unglazed high temperature-fired bizen-style, and generously shares his knowledge around the world teaching kiln building, firing and pottery making.
