Words can't convey how much I adore this cup-and-saucer pairing. As a fan of handleless cups, I love how the tapered form fits in my hand while the saucer protects my table's surface. But it's really the extraordinary matte surface Lilith Rockett achieves that takes my breath away—It's a buttery surface with just enough texture to remind you of its handmade quality. We especially adore this cup's larger scale so that we can enjoy a generous enough serving of drip coffee or tea at home to avoid making too many trips for refills.

Artist Notes

Lilith Rockett

Translucent, fluid, and unembellished, Lilith Rockett's work embodies the quiet, simple beauty that exists in daily life.

On display in her Portland-based gallery, her wide range of everyday objects is sporadically and thoughtfully grouped together. Seemingly wishing to bring out the human characteristics in all of her designs, Lilith commonly leaves the exteriors of her work unglazed, creating objects that grow and change with you over time.

Though each piece exhibits subtle variations in form and purpose, they all reflect a sought-after simplicity that is rarely obtained. It is through this intimate and pared-back approach that Lilith's work continues to transcend cultural preferences and temporary trends.

Product Care

Ceramic pieces can be unglazed, partially glazed, or fully glazed. Each application requires a slightly different approach to caring for the piece.

While most ceramics are dishwasher-safe, we recommend handwashing to maximize the piece's longevity.

It is best to wash after each use. Lukewarm water and a mild detergent will do, but for a hardier stain, you can use gentle cleansing products like Bon Ami.

For woodfired work, if you regularly clean your piece with harsh soaps or in the dishwasher, it might start to look visibly dry. In this case, apply a small amount of mineral oil to your hands and rub the surface of the piece to regain its luster.

The porosity of unglazed clay bodies can retain large amounts of moisture and harbor bacteria. Avoid soaking the piece in water for extended periods, as this can lead to discoloration, odor, and mold growth.

Most hand-thrown ceramic wares are left with an unglazed foot. If rough to the touch, use 220-grit sandpaper to polish until smooth.

Refrain from sliding the piece across surfaces to help avoid scratches on furniture.

Wipe the piece with a soft cloth after washing, and dry on a dish rack overnight before storing.
