Etsy - MarieWrightPottery Japanese Style Teacup Blue Black Crystalline Glaze On Porcelain
Description
This sweet cup started out on my wheel here in my Pittsboro studio. It is just over 2.5 inches tall, & holds 4 oz. It is glazed with an experimental crystalline glaze, & the inside of the cup is glazed with a rich tenmoku glaze. This glaze was really hard to photograph well, but it is mostly deep dark blue with some rich brown & black tones. All of the crystalline glazes that I use are original glazes invented myself. Each crystalline glazed piece is unique in that they cannot be duplicated. The crystals are never the same from one piece to another. I use high fire porcelain, & fire to a peak temperature of 2350oF - aka cone 11. What this means is that the porcelain is fully vitrified & watertight even without the glazes. Because of the way that I fire & the glazes that I use, all my work is fully functional - watertight, lead free, & microwave safe. Dishwashing may etch the glaze surface over time, so I recommend hand washing. Japanese Style Teacup Blue Black Crystalline Glaze On Porcelain
