Golden Tan and Rutile Blue Textured Swirl Mug
Golden Tan and Rutile Blue Textured Swirl Mug
These beautiful Goldspot and Rutile Blue Textured Swirl Mugs would be fantastic for every day use. They are a nice size for coffee or tea lovers, and they have a generous mouth - all the better for dipping biscotti or cookies. The mugs have a hand formed handle, and a softly textured swirl shape - it feels nice in your hand, whether held by the handle or the cup.
The listing is for either a single mug, or a set of 2. Adjust the Quantity option to choose whether you want 1 mug or 2. If you would like to buy more than are shown as available, please message me - I may have more than are showing here. And I can certainly make more on request.
DIMENSIONS:
These mugs all stand around 4.75 inches tall, and 3.25 inches across the lip. They hold 13 ounces quite easily, and nearly 14 oz when full. All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
These mugs were made with cone 10 B-Mix clay on my potter's wheel. A brown iron oxide slip (a blend of water and clay) was applied to the outside of the mug while it was still wet on the wheel. A ragged brush was drug through the wet slip as the cup slowly spun on the wheel. I then used a rubber rib to quickly press the swirl shape into the cup through the brown slip. The mugs were glazed on the interior and the lip using Goldspot, a warm tan. Rutile glaze was used on the outside of the mug, this is a transparent glaze that pools into pretty blues and lavenders around the ridges of the brown slip.
