Floral and Polka Dot Mug – Mixed Patterns – approx 12 oz mug

$45.00

These vibrant mugs combine printmaking with ceramics in such a fun way. I use a variety of creative surface design techniques to create an exciting “more is more” aesthetic.

I love the low shape of this mug. It is based on a favorite mug that I reach for first almost every day. Perfect for a cozy cup of tea or coffee but also great for ice cream, soup, or cereal.

Wheel thrown and hand-decorated, my stoneware mugs are an everyday favorite. Made with great care and attention to detail, they are a comfortable weight, with a smooth handle. Sizes vary due to the handmade nature of my work. Holds approximately 12 to 14 ounces of liquid.

Description

All pieces are made by hand in my Easthampton, Massachusetts studio. Each piece begins as white stoneware clay. First, the clay is thrown by hand on the potter’s wheel, forming the shape. For mugs and other items with handles, a coil of clay is joined to the side, and methodically pulled to form a smooth, comfortable handle. Following a bisque firing in the kiln, the piece is hand-decorated using a combination of hand-drawn underglaze transfer and slip-painting. Then the piece is hand-dipped in a clear glaze and fired once more in the kiln to make the finished product.
