Golden Tan and Rutile Blue Textured Swirl Mug
Golden Tan and Rutile Blue Textured Swirl Mug
Elevate your daily ritual with a handmade wheel-thrown stoneware mug, featuring a golden tan interior and rutile blue swirl exterior. Created for both beauty and function, these mugs hold 14 oz—ideal for those who love a big cup of coffee, tea or any hot beverage. The textured spiral design and generous hand‑pulled handle make this unique mug a pleasure to hold and use.
DIMENSIONS:
These mugs all stand around 4.75 inches tall, and 3.25 inches across the lip. They hold 13 ounces quite easily, and nearly 14 oz when full. All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
The listing is for either a single mug, or a set of 2. Adjust the Quantity option to choose whether you want 1 mug or 2.
I'm down to my last 2 of these mugs currently. If you'd like to buy both, send me a message first. I will adjust the listing so you can get the discounted price for the set.
I do intend to make more of this mug style this spring. Let me know if you would like to reserve one (or more) to purchase when they're done.
These mugs were made with cone 10 B-Mix clay on my potter's wheel. A brown iron oxide slip (a blend of water and clay) was applied to the outside of the mug while it was still wet on the wheel. A ragged brush was drug through the wet slip as the cup slowly spun on the wheel. I then used a rubber rib to quickly press the swirl shape into the cup through the brown slip. The mugs were glazed on the interior and the lip using Goldspot, a warm tan. Rutile glaze was used on the outside of the mug, this is a transparent glaze that pools into pretty blues and lavenders around the ridges of the brown slip.
