150ML Set of 2 Ceramic Tea Cups or Wine Cups Curve Shaped Cup

These small teacups are made from local stoneware clay in Thailand. They are glazed inside with an amber color, creating a nice contrast with the green glazes on the outside. The curved shape makes them easy to hold. * Approximate size: 8 cm x 8 cm* Holds about 150 mL each or 5 ounces. They are the perfect size for serving hot tea, sake, or wine with your friends and family. All my work is thrown on the wheel and fired in an electric kiln from a small home studio in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand They are dishwasher/microwave safe, and are coated in lead-free glazes. *Ceramic work is typically fired twice: It is Bisque fired and then Glaze fired I begins by wedging the clay to make sure it doesn’t have any air bubbles, and then it is thrown on the wheel head. Once the mug has dried to leather hard which usually take about 1-2 days, I will trim and add the handle. It is then Bisque fired for 6-8 hours at around 1,830 - 1,940 F in order to make strengthen the clay and transform it into a porous state for glazing. After I glaze my piece, the last step is glaze firing at a temperature of 2,185 - 2,232 F (I use cone 6 @ my home studio) usually taking about 24 hours, depending on kiln size and time to cool down*
