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 hold 12 ounces, and all of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
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.
