faceted tenmoku mug (single)

I love the lusciousness of tenmoku (the iron-bearing glaze used on these mugs) on a light clay body in a wood-fired kiln.  These were fired for five days in an anagama (wood) kiln in Nelson County, VA, &, as unique products of that particular firing, there aren't more exactly like them.  Each mug is approximately 2.25" in height, 4.5" in width, & 4" in depth.  You can read more about wood- and salt-firing here.  Please note that the price listed is for a single mug, &, as of 7/21/2022, there is only one left from the orginal four.  As you can see, each is uniquely different, so the one mug remaining may not be the exact one you see in those photos of a single mug (it will, however, of course be one of the four pictured in the group photos). As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, the cups are food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.

ridged tea bowl

This tea bowl (or miso bowl?) seems to me like it begs to be cupped in two hands, & I love the way this glaze breaks on the ridges of its iron-bearing clay body.  It is 3.25" in height & 4.75" in diameter & was gas-fired.  As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, it is food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.

wood-fired tea bowl

This ovular tea bowl was fired on its side for four days in an anagama-style wood kiln in Amherst, VA, & you can see the way the ash melted & pooled uniquely around the texture of the pot & around the (since removed) wadding material that protected it from fusing with the kiln shelf.  It is 3.75" high and 4" wide.   As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, it is food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.  You can read more about wood- and salt-firing here.

tea bowl with notched foot

I love cupping a tea bowl holding a warm drink, & I love playing with the details of making a seemingly-simple shape, so this guy was the answer to two wishes.  The dark stoneware & creamy glaze seem like they are meant for winter comfort sipping, & the notched foot adds that bit of delicacy its profile.  It is 3" high & 4.5" in diameter, & it was gas-fired.  As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, it is food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.

pair of wood-fired cups

This handsome pair were fired sitting at an angle on refractory wadding for five days in a wood kiln in beautiful Nelson County, VA.  The pale, circular mark on each is where the wadding changed the way the ash, fire, & atmosphere of the kiln could get to the pot.  Their exteriors have no glaze on them except at the lip, meaning that satiny vitrified surface (on top of the striped texture I gave the outside of each) is all a product of wood-firing. (The interiors & lip are glazed w/ a lovely Japenese glaze called shino) Each cup is approx. 3.5" h. x 4.5" w. x 4.5" d.  You can read more about wood- and salt-firing here.  As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, the cups are food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.

striped, soda-fired cup

This sweet little cup alternates wavy stripes of a glazed named "old yeller" with the stripes of unglazed clay that were vitrified & given that wonderful orange peel texture by the soda (a mixture of sodium carbonate & sodium borate) in the atmosphere of the kiln.  I also like its little square foot & its softly-squared shape.  :)  It is 3" in height, 3.25" in width & 3.25" in depth.  As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, the cups are food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.

pair of wood-fired mugs

An important thing to notice about these two beauties is that they are not round -- firing them on their sides in a wood-fired kiln for five days gave them that wonderfully dramatic pattern of ash & flashing on their sides, & holding for so long at high heat softened their shape.  There won't ever be two more exactly like them as a result.  (Personally, I wish I could get that kind of surface on every pot I make.  :>)  For the lover of unique gems & of generous amounts of coffee, they are each approximately 3.25" high, 6" wide, & 4.5" deep.  As with all of my pots that are meant for your kitchen and table, they are food-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, though pots will last longest if you hand wash them.  You can read more about wood- and salt-firing here.
