kurinuki box mint-choco

Hand build ceramic box with minty green glaze. This box in an ode to the never ending mint-choco debate. Basically the world is split in two parts, the people that love mint-choco and the people that hate it. I'm team mint-choco, what are you?

This box can be used to store coins, earrings or rings, or other small things to treasure like mints.

This box is hand-formed with the kurinuki technique. Kurinuki means " to hollow" in Japanese. It is a traditional technique where you carve away the clay from a solid block and that way shape the object.

I use kurinuki to make chawans, cups and boxes. The process is slow, meditative and results in one of a kind pieces.

The box is glazed on a green color and breaks away in a light brown color at the edges.
