Mug - Handmade in Red Stoneware with Mottled Blue glaze

Hand-thrown mug with traditionally pulled handle in red stoneware with a mottled blue glaze.

I throw and turn these at my potter’s wheel then make a traditional “pulled handle” where the clay is gradually extended by hand from what begins as a stump in the mug body and becomes a sculpted ribbon which is then attached at the base of the mug to form an ergonomic handle.

I make all my own glazes from raw ingredients and develop them over time by adjusting quantities of ingredients and firing cycles to ensure they all have the character of finish and durability that I’m looking for.

The marks on either side at the base are where my finger and thumb have held the mug while it was dipped in the glaze mix, a feature I've always liked since I first saw it in French rural pottery.

My maker's mark is brushed on the base in black underglaze.

Dishwasher and microwave safe but hand-washing recommended.

Fired in the kiln to cone 5 (1210c) in an oxidising atmosphere.
