Black Drawing Teacup

Hand-built teacup from Los Angeles-based artist Chie Fujii. Drawing inspiration from her background in fine art and sculpture work, Chie seeks to elevate the principles of wabi sabi in a modern, attractive, and lighthearted way. This "drawing" cup features hand-etched lines alongside a wabi-style glaze on the cup's lip.

The lines and drawings—unique to each cup—reflect her time learning English as a second language when she first moved to Los Angeles. She particularly includes positive thoughts in her drawings, such as words of beauty, morning, and joy. Porcelain. Hand-built and fired in Los Angeles.

About the producer

Drawing inspiration from her background in fine art and historical Japanese sculpture, ceramicist Chie Fujii seeks to elevate the principles of wabi sabi in a modern, attractive, and lighthearted way. While many classically trained artists aim to perfect their use of technique and skill, Chie strives to create useful objects that capture the humanity of art, oftentimes "destroying" the fundamentals of her fine art background to do so. Her pieces find a heartfelt balance between the beauty of symmetry with the warmth of handmade objects.
