Handmade ceramic mugs stoneware coffee mugs pottery tea mugs cup stoneware drinkware - Purple wiggle bump - item 2499

High-fired Cone10-11 ceramic stoneware pottery. Extruded and attached handle. High-fired to 2350 degrees in a homemade kiln in a gas reduction-type atmosphere. Glossy, handmade layers of flowing glazes. Clean finish. High-end individually made pieces masterfully thrown on a pottery wheel. Artist signature is represented as a traditional potter's "chop" (hand-carved stamped frog).

All handmade ceramic mugs are microwave, dishwasher safe. Durable.

The wiggles are created during the wet process at the pottery wheel. Once an object is created it is then wet and spun while one strong deliberate movement is pulled from the bottom of the pot upward. This makes for an organic loose form that interacts with the flowing layers of glazes.

Bumps made by using an old wooden tablespoon held against the outside of a vessel as index finger is pressed from the inside outward. This creates a consistent round bump to the exterior of the vessel. Glazes behave interesting as they find the path of least resistance around these bumps. These bumps give the user a functional gripping point.

Perfect size for your morning cup of coffee or tea.

Approximately 3” diameter by 6” tall. Holds approximately 12 ounces.
