Earth & Ember Collection
A tribute to the elemental power of wood-firing, where raw textures and natural ash-fall patterns create a grounded, primordial connection to the earth.

The Earth & Ember Collection is where the artisan’s hand meets the untamed soul of the kiln. This series celebrates the ancient tradition of wood-firing, a three-day elemental journey where natural wood ash dances with intense heat to create unrepeatable surfaces. Moving away from the uniform and the mass-produced, these pieces embrace raw, organic textures and deep, scorched tones that can only be achieved by the touch of real flames.
Each vessel—whether a weighted tea cup or a sculptural mini vase—features a unique "landscape" of mineral deposits and natural glazes. There is a primordial honesty in these objects; they feel grounded in the hand and grow more beautiful with time. For the collector who finds beauty in the imperfect and the enduring, Earth & Ember offers a tactile ritual that brings the quiet strength of the natural world into the modern home.
Unlike electric kilns, wood-firing uses natural timber as fuel. Over several days, the flying wood ash settles on the glowing clay, melting into a natural glaze. This creates the scorched, "toasted" appearance and rugged texture that defines the Earth & Ember aesthetic.
These are not flaws—they are the signatures of the fire. Small mineral bursts, ash deposits, and tonal shifts are intentional characteristics of the wood-firing process. Each "imperfection" tells the story of the piece's 72-hour journey through the flames.
While the exterior is beautifully raw and tactile, the interiors are fully vitrified. This means they remain non-porous and easy to clean. However, to protect the delicate ash-fall patterns on the outside, we recommend hand-washing with warm water.
Yes. One of the greatest joys of Earth & Ember is the patina. Over years of use, the ceramic will absorb the oils from your skin and the aromas of your tea, becoming smoother and more lustrous. It is a "living" piece that grows with you.
Absolutely. The matte, earthy tones of this series provide a stunning visual anchor when paired with the shimmering glazes of our Sunburst or Crystal Ice collections, creating a "Wabi-Sabi" balance between the raw and the refined.
