Made from black clay by a family run kiln in Seto, Japan. This darker clay yields a unique dark almost metallic glaze opposed to our Matsu Earth vessel that is made using red clay. Once we receive the cups from Japan, we fill them with pure soy wax in our Sydney studio. Designed around re-using, each candle is made to be used well beyond its burn time as a Japanese tea or coffee cup. For our Sydney friends, we also offer candle refills.

 

Story

We first visited this workshop in 2019 and fell in love with their glazes and clay colours. This particular workshop is family run and everything is very hands on. We designed this cup and chose the glaze while we visited the factory.

Ingredients & Craft

Our studio is located in Surry Hills, Sydney, where we pour each and every one of our candles by hand. We pure soy wax and boutique natural fragrances to craft our candles.

Each one is designed with sustainability in mind, the idea is once you finish burning your candle you can reuse the Japanese ceramic vessel. Simply remove the wick, wash with hot soapy water and use it as a tea or coffee cup, or bring it back to the store for a candle refill. We think candles should be burnt and enjoyed every day and not just saved for special occasions, so burn it, refill it or reuse it.
