Description

Woodfired cup with flame marks and ash glaze. Unglazed on the outside, beautifully marked by the heat of the flames. A very toasty one with brown and black hues. To keep the wood fired cups looking their best, I recommend washing by hand, machine washing might cause some discoloration on the outside.

Together with a group of ceramicists, we came together to take on the intensive process of firing in a large wood kiln. The kiln is slowly stoked with wood until it reaches 1300°C. It’s a process that requires constant attention to both flame and temperature, as these elements directly influence the final outcome.

The bottom of the cup has been smoothed, but you can still see the small spots where the wadding sat, small balls of clay used to keep the pot from fusing to the kiln shelf.

Height: 8,9 centimeters.
The cup holds approximately 200 ml, making it perfect for tea, coffee or any drink you like.

Materials: A stoneware clay, glazed on the inside infused with ash
Method: Hand-thrown on the wheel and fired up to 1300 degrees celcius in a woodkiln to ensure the clay is vitrified and sturdy

GOOD TO KNOW
The sizes mentioned are approximations, and there may be slight variations.
Keep in mind that all products are handmade. They will never be as machine-made ceramics. The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that you can literally see the creator in them, at least that’s what I believe.
