Etsy - Forfunandpottery Christmas Ceramic Mug, Pottery Coffee Cup, Stoneware Ornament Tall 15-Ounce Mugs Christmas
Description
I love coffee or tea in my mug, but often use mine for hot chocolate on cool winter nights. When I see this mug, I immediately think of our Christmas tree, & it takes me back home. The mug is trimmed in a black gloss glaze framing a Christmas Tree Ornaments underglaze transfer. A glossy clear glaze makes the design pop! The mug is safe to be microwaved or used in the dishwasher. It is 3.75 inches diameter & tapers down to 2.25-inch base. The mug is 5 inches high. The handle makes it easy to control a mug this size. No matter if you use it as a big coffee cup or teacup, a soup mug, or for hot chocolate this mug with its 15-ounce capacity is perfect. The mug weighs 1 pound 3 ounces. I use lead free, zinc free glazes that are food, dishwasher, & microwave safe. Perfect gift for adults.

MOLD POURED MUG. Clay is a very flexible material & thus can be thinned & poured into a mold. Once the clay has cured, the mold can be opened leaving the object (in this case a tall mug). Once out of the mold, the pottery is finished to create a smooth finish. Once the item has been finished it is processed the same way as any other piece of pottery. This mug is one of those purchased mold pieces. FIRING. I fire each piece at least twice. The first is called a bisque firing to remove most of the water, leaving it porous to absorb the glaze. After glazing it is fired to a higher temperature, about 2000F. I often use an underglaze to enhance texture or design, but some glazes will do that all by themselves. GLAZES. Methods of adding eye appeal are endless, beginning with the glaze. On mugs I always use lead & zinc free, dinnerware safe glazes. The end results are not always predictable because where the mug is placed in the kiln can effect its outcome. For example, the same glaze could look different if the mug were in a hotter area. & there are thousands of colors & effects made possible by layering two or more glazes.
