Explore the Craftsmanship Behind Each Handmade Coffee Cup.
Shape the clay on a potter's wheel, applying even pressure while keeping the clay moist. Avoid overworking it to prevent cracks.
A spiral pattern shaped by the thumb is one of the distinctive features of Cheralle handmade coffee cups.
Use shaping tools and a ruler to refine the cup into the perfect shape, thickness, and dimensions.
After shaping, let the clay body air dry for 5 to 7 days.
Once dry, use a scraper to refine the cup's base into a standard shape.
After refining the shape, we need another 5 to 7 days to let the clay body dry.
We manually attach the handles to the cups, so special attention must be paid to install the handles in precise positions.
Let the clay body air dry for 10 to 15 days, as the required time depends on the weather and the humidity of the environment. This step is crucial to prevent breakage during firing; if fired while wet, the quick evaporation of moisture can cause shrinkage and damage.
Rehydration helps eliminate imperfections and improves the yield of finished products. We use a spray gun for glazing, requiring precise techniques to achieve a texture resembling ocean waves. After glazing, the clay body is stored in a dust-free environment for 1 to 2 days before firing.
Cheralle cups are kiln-fired at 1320℃ for 12 to 16 hours. Precise control of the temperature curve and glaze thickness determines how the glaze flows on the clay body, necessitating the expertise of an experienced kiln operator.
The kiln operator adjusts the gas valve and temperature settings to control the reduction atmosphere inside the kiln. This creates a sanded texture and enhances artistic appeal, setting our cups apart from mass-produced mugs.
After firing, we let the coffee cups cool naturally in the kiln to avoid cracking. Once cooled, each cup is inspected for defects. Every kiln opening feels like unboxing a surprise, filled with anticipation and excitement.
Transforming raw clay into a finished cup involves 16 meticulous steps over 20 to 30 days. Each step reflects our artisans' commitment to precision and professionalism, embodying Cheralle's values in crafting the finest coffee cups for our customers.
