Cherry Blossom Tattoo Mug - Speckled Clay
Cherry Blossom Tattoo Mug - Speckled Clay
This mug is thrown on the potters wheel from speckled stoneware clay. Before the clay is fully dry, I hand-paint the coloured parts of the cherry blossom design. I then coat the design in a layer of wax resist, before carving the outline through to the clay below. Once the mug is bone dry I paint black underglaze into the outline and wipe the excess off of the wax resist. Finished with transparent glaze. You can see a video of the decorating process here.
9.5 - 10cm tall, 9.5 - 10cm wide at base, 440ml-ish capacity (measurements are approximate). Every item is handmade and there will be some variations in size and shape. Dishwasher and microwave safe, gentle hand-washing recommended.
Right handed means if you hold the mug in your right hand the design faces away from your body - left handed means if you hold in your left hand the design faces away.
