Stoneware cup, Shino & Celadon glazes, wood ash

Dimensions: 6.5cm H x 8cm W

A hand thrown and trimmed stoneware cup.

The cup’s organic shape and texture was created with my fingers and tools during the throwing process to create a pot that fits nicely in the hand. This piece was then decorated with my Shino and celadon glazes as well as wood ash before being reduction-fired for around 24 hours in my gas kiln.

My pots are dishwasher and food safe, but please take care and washing by hand is the best option. Personally, I always hand wash my pots and tend not to use them in the microwave. Unlike mass produced ceramics, each of my pots is a unique hand-made piece whose finish is greatly influenced by the how the kiln fire impacts the glaze. As a result, no two pieces are alike and they will never be reproduced exactly as is.
