Spruce Blue Pottery Mug with Purple Interior
Spruce Blue Pottery Mug with Purple Interior
Rich layers of deep cobalt purple and spruce blue glaze give this handmade pottery mug a timeless, earthy character. Subtle variations in the clay and glaze create depth and movement across the surface, while the softly swirled form and comfortable handle make it a mug you'll naturally reach for every day. Each firing produces its own unique blend of blues, greens and browns, ensuring that no two mugs are ever exactly alike.
Details
These mugs all stand around 4.5 inches tall, and they measure approximately 3.5" inches across the lip. They hold12 ounces, and all of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
NOTE: I’m down to the last one of these mugs, it holds a little under 12 ounces.
Use
Perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The swirled form and smooth, hand-formed handle make these mugs comfortable to hold and a joy to use.
Options
The listing is for either a single mug or a set of 2 mugs. If you would like to buy more than is shown as available, please message me - I can make more on request.
Process
These mugs were thrown on my potter's wheel with Rods Bod clay, a deep brown stoneware. After throwing the cup to about the proper size, I used a rubber rib to press the swirl shape into the wet cup as it spun on the wheel. Once the cup was leather hard, I attached and shaped the hand-pulled handle.
After drying and bisque firing, the mugs were glazed with Emily Purple glaze on the interior and rim. Blue Blue Green glaze was coated around the outter mug. Then Rutile glaze was added over the rim and top inch of the mug, adding a layer of swirls of blue and purple variations down and around the top of the cup.
Add a lovely touch to your kitchen or table with this handmade pottery bottle, glazed in glossy lilac with soft milk-white accents. Perfect for serving infused olive oils, specialty vinegars, or simple syrups, this piece is both functional and decorative.
The spout is removable, making the bottle versatile enough to use as a small vase for fresh flower buds or herbs. A unique and elegant piece for everyday use or special occasions.
Details
The bottle stands 6.5 inches tall. The metal spout adds over an inch and a half, the plastic spout also included will add about an inch. The bottle is about 4" at the widest point, and the base measures 2.75" across. It easily holds 15 ounces.
Both a metal spout and a clear plastic spout is included, the plastic spout is recommended if using your bottle for vinegar. All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
Use
This bottle works beautifully for serving olive oil, vinegar, or syrups, and it can also double as a small vase for fresh greenery or flowers. Its timeless design makes it as useful as it is decorative.
