400 ML Tea Cup / Chawan with Ridge Surface/ Handcrafted tea cup/Earthtone

Handcrafted tea cup The approximate size is 8 cm tall, 11.2 cm across, and it holds about 13.5 oz / 400 mL. It is glazed with a speckled satin finish in an earthy brown-yellow tone. This bowl can hold a large scoop of ice cream with some space for toppings. 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
