Botanical Mug #1 Desert Dusk

$55.00

Capacity: 12 fluid ounces

Height: 4"


One-of-a-kind mug with variegated cream and purple glaze combination and botanical impressions. Wheel thrown and decorated by Naomi.



Botanical Impression Process:

The one of a kind botanical patterns on this pot are created by impressing plants directly into the soft clay to capture even the finest detail. An iron oxide wash is sponged into the texture after the bisque firing to reveal every line of the impression.

The inside and upper portion of the pot is then glazed. The unglazed exterior surface of the clay is vitrified and food safe, as well as lightly sanded to give a tactile feel.


Microwave and dishwasher safe.

Avoid extreme temperature shifts.

Wood Fired Mug #1

$55.00

This piece was fired in the first firing of our newly built wood kiln, which we named “The Firefly”. The firing took 34 hours to reach 2300 degrees Fahrenheit using over a cord of fire wood, then and cooled over a period of 4 days. During the firing ash and flame flows through the kiln creating organic and unique patterns on each piece. At peak temperature we add a mixture of baking soda, salt and sawdust which vaporizes instantly and forms a textured glassy glaze on everything in the kiln. This “soda” glaze hits each pot differently, often forming two distinct sides to the piece and unexpected patterns.

 

All our wood fired pottery is glazed on the interior making it functional, waterproof and food safe even if the exterior has a matte surface.
