N°003 Sluggish Cup
Italians have a word for that feeling when you’ve ingested such prodigious amounts of food you have no choice but to yield to the drowsy state of torpidity that follows—it’s called abbiocco.
Aussie’s have a way of ensuring no moment of unforeseen craving ever be faced unprepared—it’s called the flavour saver.
Sluggish cup is the amalgam of both of these notions, specially designed for those who want a little more out of each serve. A cup for dragging your feet in satiation, knowing there will always be extra left behind.

Each softedge piece is hand-crafted from Australian clay in our Northern NSW studio. Irregularities in colour, glaze and surface are a result of the inevitable human touch received during the making process and should be embraced.
Porcelain and stoneware can withstand high temperatures; however, sudden temperature changes are likely to cause thermal shock, which will damage and crack ceramics over time. Always place very hot items onto wood, cork or cloth, and let them cool naturally.
Due to the irregular forms of our designs, we recommend hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or non-abrasive utensil to avoid scratching—this will prolong the life of our pieces and maintain glaze integrity as the years roll by.

Process & Precedents
Each piece in the softedge collection is moulded off an original shape hand-formed by designer and founder Layla Cluer. Our small studio team uses slip-casting methods to carefully translate each sculptural form into functional ceramic ware from our space in Bundjalung County (Byron Bay, Australia).
