Woodfired Daffodil Mug 14oz *Heavy Ash
Daffodils bloom across the surface of this handmade, woodfired mug. The piece was made on the pottery wheel by Rob and then given to Jess to illustrate (this piece was created with a technique called Mishima - incising and then inlaying into the drawing, one of the last she created with this technique before her illness). The daffodils speak of unrestrained joy, of hopefulness, of the new beginnings of Spring pushing up through the snow.
The interior glaze is a soft sage green that reminds us of foliage, and the exterior is alive with the toasty colors of wood firing, created by the path of flame and the blue purple and grey tones of ash. The side that faced the fire is coppery and warm, and the side that faced the ash is cool blue, the contrast striking.
All pieces are made by hand, and have the traces of being touched and formed on them - sometimes that’s asoft unevenness, or gently waving rim, or the fingerprint of the artist in the clay, or being able to see where drawings made directly on the surface started and stopped. We hope you’ll prize the “imperfections” that make them truly human like we do.
