Spotted Mug - Black Dots

Handmade stoneware ceramic mug with beautiful hand painted spots.

Inspired by mid century design this cup is made with an earthy clay and fired in a reduction kiln to provide the distinctive speckle, as part of our Forest range. Glazed in mist white with an overglaze black dot pattern and  a feature of exposed clay at the base. 

A reduction firing is where the chemistry of the clay and glaze is manipulated during firing by starving the kiln of oxygen. This process draws the iron out of the body of the earthy clay I use and creates the much loved speckle. 

Perfect for lovers of strong small cups of coffee or tea with approximately 270 ml capacity.     

Size 8cmH x 9cm Diameter

Dimensions are approximately 8cm high and 8cm at the rim, not including the handle.
