14 Ounces/400 Ml Beautiful Coffee Mug Handmade

Approximate size: Diameter: 9 cm Height: 10.5 cm Holds: 14 ounces or 400 milliliters I threw this mug on the wheel with local stoneware clay in Thailand. It's my original design and glazed in an earth-tone color. The handle and rim are matte green glaze, while the outer is white/brownish glossy. Below are the details of how I created each work piece. 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 All my work is thrown on the wheel and fired in an electric kiln from a small home studio in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
