A playful boxed set of 5 tea cups and tea pot by the young and talented Tsuda Haruka enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled simply Chaki. The work is like marshmallows, or shaving cream in appearance, soft and organic, with elegant, natural forms. The slightly oblong cups are roughly 7.5 cm (3 inches) diameter, 6.5 cm (2-5/8 inches) tall. The tea pot is 11.5 x 13.5 x 11 cm (4-1.2 x 5-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches) and all are in new condition, directly from the artist. The artist states: “I want to create works that make people’s hearts relax—something that gently softens their mood without them even realizing it. My guiding principle is to explore and express the various forms of softness that can emerge from the hardness of ceramics. To achieve this, I am currently pursuing forms that evoke a sense of pleasant release or comfort. I’m also exploring curves that convey suppleness or a squishy, yielding quality, as well as colors and textures that suggest warmth”.
Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1995, the artist entered the Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center in 2023. After completing the Design Course in 2025, they continued their studies in the Center’s Ceramics Lab, where they remain active today.
