soda-fired sgraffito stein mug

16-20oz Soda-firing is a process that includes spraying a mixture of water and soda ash into a kiln at peak temperature to achieve unique atmospheric effects. This piece is handmade with love: wheel-thrown and designed using a process called sgraffito, which involves carving through layers of slip to reveal the clay underneath. Each ball of clay has its own shape, and I try to listen to the form as I’m throwing – so it is rare for any two to end up exactly the same, which means each piece ends up being unique and one of a kind. These mugs feature landscapes, wildflowers, environments, and other elements that I have encountered while traveling. And every handle is finished with a thumb nub to add to the overall comfort of holding the piece. All mugs are food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, although hand washing is recommended for any handmade ceramic piece. I do the best I can to accurately photograph these pieces using natural lighting, but colors may appear differently in various lighting environments. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me, I am happy to help answer them!
