The texture is very smooth, nice shape.

This cup has 2 different glazing applied. 

Milky white clay is straw ash glaze which Hassen made by burning straw.
Yellowish glaze is called candy glaze (Ameyu glaze) which shows beautiful shade of brown. The harmony and contrast of the those two glazes is attracting. Both glaze are Hassen's blend. The bluish color is also visible, and the flowing glaze is just divine.

He is 88 years old this year, and his history, aesthetics, and beauty are expressed in this cup.

The clay is a unique blend of Hassen XIII.
