Sandy Pearl Mini Chalice Shot Cup

$27.00

This handmade ceramic mini chalice is a small pedestal cup with a distinctive, elevated shape. The softly rounded bowl and raised stem give it the feel of a tiny goblet or chalice, while the Sandy Pearl glaze creates a softly textured surface in warm cream and sandy tones, accented with speckles and subtle blue around the rim.

Small enough to feel special in your hand, this one-of-a-kind piece is both functional and sculptural. Its unusual shape gives it a little extra presence – whether you use it for a favorite drink or simply enjoy it as a small piece of handmade pottery.

Details
The cup stands nearly 4.75" tall, and measures 3" wide at the lip. At the base, it measures 2.5" across, and it holds 6 ounces of liquid. All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.

Use
This mini chalice is a versatile little cup that can be used for a small pour of your favorite beverage, such as espresso, wine, spirits, or another special drink. Its size could also make it useful for a small dessert, dipping sauce, or other little treat.

Of course, it doesn't have to be used for food or drink at all. With its raised pedestal and distinctive chalice shape, it also makes a charming small piece of pottery to display and enjoy.

Process
This cup was thrown on my potter's wheel using Rods Bod clay, a brown stoneware. The small cup was thrown first, and partially dried to leather hard (wet but firm). The cup was then reattached to my wheel upside down, and a wet ring of clay was attached. The tall foot of the cup was thrown from that clay.

After drying and bisque firing, the interior of the cup was glazed in Goldspot glaze, a golden tan. The exterior was glazed in Microcrystal Pearl, and a quick dip of Rutile glaze was added around the rim, to add an extra pop of color. This piece was fired to cone 10 in a reduced oxygen atmosphere.
