The Black Ball cup translates a piece of beach iconography — the black ball flag — into the language of ceramics.
Handcrafted in small batches, each piece is high-fired and features a bold black dot—a nod to the iconic bodysurfing flag that once marked restricted surf zones in Southern California.
With its warm and matte yellow glaze, speckled texture, and unique hand-thrown shape, this cup is perfect for coffee, tea, sake, or display. It blends form and function with a playful cultural reference and is a favorite among bodysurfers, artists, and ceramic collectors.
Mayon saw a Blackball flag on Moonlight Beach for the first time, and its striking colors stuck with her. She loves open-water swimming and bodysurfing.
