How it is made - throwing cups -
See the process of making porcelain cups. Here you can see the making in detail.
Throwing cylindrical cups. The challenge is to shape the porcelain clay which is very soft and not very plastic into thin walled cups. There are many ways of doing that. Here you can see what methods I am using. The walls and lip are thrown as thin as the clay allows. Once the cups have dried to leather hard they are being turned to reduce the thickness even further to create a cup that is translucent.
