Shino and Hearth Ash Mug - Gas-fired
Wheel-thrown mug, glazed in layers of shino and dusted with wood ash from my studio stove.
This piece is fired in a gas kiln, in a reduction atmosphere. By controlling the amount of oxygen the kiln receives, unique and highly varied results can be achieved, resulting in distinctive colours and textures and speckles. Ash melts at high temperatures and can create unique textures and colours.
However these cups can be used for tea, coffee, or cold drinks. Simply hold the cup by the rim and base ring for boiling hot drinks.
This listing is for one cup only, although more may be available.
Safety notice and warnings:
Dishwasher safe but hand wash recommended.
Microwave safe but not safe for use on direct heat sources e.g. stovetops or ovens
Do not expose to sudden temperature changes (e.g. pouring boiling water into a cold vessel), as this may cause cracking or breakage.
Handle with care. Handmade pottery can be delicate and may chip, crack or break if dropped or handled roughly
Keep out of reach of small children and pets to prevent breakage or injury
