Aspen Mug

$50.00

A ceramic mug featuring aspen trees, inspired by the colors of the Rocky Mountains.

To achieve this look, I used a variation of a technique called mishima. This process involves carving a design and filling the carvings with a contrasting slip or glaze. Here the entire mug was coated in wax, then the trees and bark were carved with an sharp knife. Black glaze was used to fill in the carvings and define the trees.

Due to the fact that I am a simple human bean, there may be slight variations in size and shape. Please see the listing photos for details before purchasing!

✿ Holds around 12 ounces or 355 ml.

✿ Around 3 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

✿ Fired to cone 6 in an electric kiln

✿ Food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended.

✿ Due to the handmade aspect of my craft, please do not expect perfection from my pieces.

✿ There might be slight variations in size, shape, and color, especially when comparing the listing photos on your screen and the piece you receive in person.

✿ Handmade in Longmont, Colorado
