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

Dots are made by using a liquified clay called “slip” that is deliberately squeezed on to an object one little dot at a time to create a raised surface. This gives the form texture and interferes with the fluidity of the layers of homemade glazes. 

Liquified clay called “slip” used to trail patterns or designs on the surface of vessels giving tactile texture and paths for fluid glazes to melt and flow around during the firing process. The bamboo represents fast growth and strength.
