Stoneware Clay. Glaze from the Wood Ash in the Flames.
A wood fired mug that has been colored by flames and glazed by the ash in the fire. It was fired in an anagama (Japanese for "cave kiln") stoked with wood every few minutes non-stop for five days.
The stoneware clay used to make this cup has been formulated to take the heat of a cone 13 (approx. 2450 degrees F.) wood-firing. It is vitrified so it would not leak even without a glaze.
The ash glaze in the cup is a mottled yellow-green. The color and glaze on the outside is from the the fire. One side is raw clay and the the other is a slightly iridescent amber glaze from the wood ash.
About 5 inches high and about 3 inches wide. Holds about 1 1/2 cups.
Food-safe. Okay in microwave and dishwasher.
