Mug — Night Ocean

Description

Bring rich, atmospheric depth to your morning coffee with this wheel-thrown stoneware piece. Thrown from organic speckled clay, the mug features a dark espresso glaze skirt on the exterior that cascades in fluid, scalloped drips over an exposed, textured base.

Where the glaze thins over the rim and outer contours, it breaks into warm brown highlights. As the glaze gathers toward the bottom of the drips, soft hints of blue emerge against the raw clay. Inside, the glaze transforms during high-firing, pooling into a luminous starburst pattern of midnight navy, cobalt, and soft moss green. Its rounded belly holds warmth comfortably in hand, making every brew a quiet, tactile moment.

Key Features & Details

• Method & Material: Wheel-thrown from natural speckled clay with a hand-formed ergonomic handle.

• Glaze Finish: Dark espresso with warm brown breaking details, cascading into drips with hints of blue over an unglazed raw clay base, paired with a reactive deep blue interior burst.

• Individual Character: Natural glaze pooling and drippy movement during firing ensure no two interiors or drip lines are identical.

Note on Handcrafted Variations

Each piece is individually wheel-thrown and glazed by hand in my studio. Natural variations in glaze breaking, pooling, interior radial patterns, and clay speckling occur organically during firing, making every mug uniquely one-of-a-kind.
