Lilac Textured Pottery Mug - Large or Small, Single or Pair
Lilac Textured Pottery Mug - Large or Small, Single or Pair
These dreamy handcrafted ceramic mugs will bring some charm to your daily cup of tea, coffee or espresso. These cups are available in 2 sizes, a generous 12 oz mug, and a smaller 8 oz espresso cup. Each mug was created from durable stoneware clay on the potter's wheel, featuring a comfortable hand-pulled handle and a softly slip textured surface.
These mugs can be purchased as a single or in a set of 2; all of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
DIMENSIONS
The Large Mug - Stands 3 1/2" tall, measures 3 3/4" wide across the lip, and will hold 12 ounces with a bit of room for cream or milk. The generous size and ergonomic handle makes these mugs perfect for your daily brew. These could even double as soup mugs or desert bowls.
The Small Mug - Stands 3" tall, measures 3 1/2" wide across the lip, and will hold 8 ounces - again, with a little extra room. This sweet little mug is ideal for espresso, cappuccino, or herbal tea. It's also a great gift idea for kids, or for pairing with the larger mug as a cute gift set.
The listing is for either a single mug in large or small, a set of 2 large or 2 small, or a mixed set of 1 large and 1 small mug. If you would like to buy more than is shown as available, please message me - I can make more on request.
These mugs were made with cone 5 B-Mix clay on my potters wheel. Slip (a blend of water and clay blended smooth) was applied to the outside of the mug while it was still wet on the wheel. To create the texture, a ragged brush was drug through the wet slip as the cup slowly spun on the wheel.
These mugs were glazed with Milky Gloss White glaze on the interior and rim. The outer mug was glazed in my Lilac glaze. This is a transparent, glossy glaze the runs and flows around the slip texture. The texture adds some light and shadow play to the lilac color, and it feels nice to touch.
