Artisan
Our modern matcha tea cups are made by Arjan Van Dal in his studio in East London. Each cup is unique and has been hand thrown by Arjan on his potter's wheel. Subtle details uncover Arjan's mark on the porcelain, such as the throwing lines on the inside or the turning lines on the bottom of the cup.
Arjan is an incredibly talented ceramicist whose work has been exhibited around the world. Arjan creates pieces that are clear and balanced, reflecting his background as an engineer and ethicist. He throws on the potter's wheel and searches for the crossline between design and craft. The result is work that through simplicity of form and austere handling of material communicates honesty with a refined touch.
