Cup and saucer, celadon inlay a

A set of cups and saucers with inlaid patterns. This is a beautiful piece with fine crazing and inlay patterns on a deep, transparent green color. Perfect for enjoying your favorite coffee. This piece is made using Shigaraki clay, and is shaped on a potter's wheel, then carved, the pattern carved out, bisque fired, white mud filled in the patterned areas and the excess wiped off, inner glaze (celadon glaze), and final firing. The clay for the ceramic body and the clay (mud) filled in are different types, so they shrink differently when fired, and the white clay may not blend well with the recessed areas, so it takes time to create the piece, with many prototypes made. The cups are easy to hold and have a smooth mouthfeel. They can also be used individually. It would also make a great gift for someone special. You can enjoy watching the texture increase as it becomes more crazy and the flavor deepens as you use it.
