Ferns and Gold-005

If you’ve followed my work for some time, you know that this design is one of my best sellers. I love making it, but can’t seem to complete too many at the same time as it uses a good amount of gold luster and is fairly time consuming to create.

I am happy to surprise-release a very small batch of five today as I celebrate my anniversary with my partner and wanted to make the day even more extra special.

About this one:

This specific mug will allow you to fit 20 oz of your favorite beverage comfortably,22 oz to the rim. 

About them:

These mugs were thrown on the potter’s wheel, trimmed, carved and glaze by me. They have gone through a series of three separate firings going from bisque to glaze to a final luster firing resulting in a brilliant 22-karat gold finish. For that latter reason, they are not suitable for the microwave. It is also good to know that excessive scrubbing and the dishwasher may potentially affect the gold finish on the long run, although the mug itself is dishwasher safe.

These mugs are partially glazed and allow the roughness of the clay body to shine. I am a highly sensitive person and always create with texture in mind. I have gotten many positive comments about the different element of texture on my mugs and how soothing it can be, but know that everyone is different and it is something to keep in mind if you, also, are sensitive to different textures.

The bottom has been sanded to protect surfaces from scratching.
