Kurinuki teabowl (made in New Zealand)
This teabowl was made by me in New Zealand at Elena Renker’s studio. Elena was so generous to show me how she makes her pots. I emulated her with this bowl. It is made from a solid block of clay and then carved.
This technique is called Kurinuki. It takes a long time and if you carve too aggressively, you can carve holes in your pots. The trick is to make pots that feel balanced or even light using this technique. I was really pleased with this teabowl. Elena glazed it for me with a combination of shino glazes that she makes and uses. She did her graduate studies on shino glazes so it is an honor to have them on this teabowl.
It was fired in her wood kiln. I did not get to participate in the firing but did in the unloading. It was a treat. Jack Troy was there with me. Good times. Anyway, I have two of these, so thought I should cut down and let one go.

Dimensions: Approximately 3” tall x 5.5” wide

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I high fire them until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.
I use USPS and UPS and send tracking information after shipping each order.
I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
