150 ML Organic shaped coffee mug Espresso Mugs

Handmade coffee mugs Holds about 5.0 ounces 150 mL Beautiful Stoneware Tea or Coffee Cup with faceted technique on surface Organic shaped imperfectly rounded edges that vary from piece to piece FACETING POTTERY is a great way to take pots out of the roundness that the wheel creates, and is often done on leather hard pots. But faceting (or fluting) freshly thrown pots right on the wheel head can also create some amazing effects! Plus if you facet cylinders and continue to throw from the inside, you really capture the spin of the wheel as the facets twist and spin.(credit from Ceramicarts Network Daily) 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
