Wood Fired Blue and Golden Tan Mugs - Single or Set of 2
This rustic Blue and Tan Wood Fired Mugs would be fantastic for every day use. They are a nice size for coffee or tea lovers, and it has a wide enough mouth for dipping cookies. My mugs have a hand formed handle, rounded to a comfortable shape - they feel nice in your hand, whether held by the handle or the cup.
These mugs stand 4 1/2 inches tall, they are 3 1/2 inches wide at the lip, and they hold 10oz. They are a great for those who prefer a moderately sized mug over a giant one.
The listing is for either a single mug, or a set of 2. Adjust the Quantity option to choose whether you want 1 mug of 2 - the price of each mug will be discounted by 2$ if buying a set of 2.
I created these mugs on my pottery wheel, using rods bod clay. The swirl shape was added by pressing the rounded end of a rubber rib against the outside wall of the pot, while supporting and lightly pressing from the inside with my fingers. The rib and my inside hand moved up the cup as it spun on the wheel, swiftly pressing in the swirl shape. The handles were pulled (formed) by hand.
The interior and lip of the mug was glazed in Goldspot glaze, and the outside of the mug was glazed in Tenmoku. The mug was wood fired for a bit over 12 hours, to cone 11.
***Wood firing pottery is a traditional method where pottery is fired in a kiln fueled solely by wood, resulting in unique colors, textures, and patterns due to the interaction of flame and ash with the clay surfaces. The process infuses every piece with both the warmth of the fire and the community effort involved in firing the wood kiln.***
This piece was wood fired at the Desert Dragon Pottery Studio in North Phoenix AZ.
All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
