The Imperfect Trace Cup is a profound celebration of the maker’s touch. Moving away from the cold precision of machines, this 220ml vessel features intentional hand-pressed indentations (dimples) that create a natural, ergonomic grip, making it a joy to hold during your morning tea or coffee ritual.
Crafted from high-temperature stoneware, the cup’s organic form allows the reactive kiln-glaze to pool and break uniquely within each "trace," or depression. This creates a mesmerizing landscape of shifting colors and textures that can never be replicated. In the true spirit of Wabi-sabi, this cup honors the beauty of the "perfectly imperfect," providing a soulful, tactile presence that grounds you in the present moment.

Seekcase
Born from the ancient alchemy of reactive glazes, we honor the soul of East Asian ceramic heritage. Each piece is forged at 1350°C, where minerals and flame dance to create spontaneous, unrepeatable patterns—from celestial constellations to misty peaks. True luxury lies not in sterile perfection, but in the singular story of the fire. More than teaware, this is living art that evolves with every pour.
Where Minerals Meet the Flame
Our kilns are not just ovens; they are crucibles of transformation. At the peak temperature of 1350°C, the solid glaze turns into a molten ocean. Natural minerals like iron, cobalt, and feldspar react to the atmosphere inside, surfacing as "crystalline blooms" or "iron spots." This isn't painting—it's controlled chaos. We set the stage, but the fire is the ultimate artist.
Embrace the Gift of Chance
In the world of Seekcase, "consistency" is a foreign word. Because our glazes are truly reactive, no two pieces emerge from the fire with the same DNA. One may have a splash of deep indigo, while its twin carries a mist of pale violet. When you choose a piece, you are claiming a singular signature of the earth that can never be replicated. It is a luxury that belongs only to you.
Earth’s Integrity in Every Sip
Art should never compromise health. Every Seekcase vessel is crafted from high-fire porcelain and natural ores.
A Companion to Your Rituals
This is not a static object to be kept on a shelf; it is Living Art designed for the touch. As the years pass, the high-fire glaze interacts with the oils of your tea and the touch of your hands, developing a subtle, unique patina. It matures alongside you, turning every morning coffee or midnight tea into a record of your personal journey.
