This cup measures 3.5 inches tall. It holds a modest volume for those beverages that you consume in moderation: water, juices, tea, coffee perhaps, wine, sake, liquors.
Here is one of 50 new works from my most-recent “Oni-Glazed” firing. These cups were fired to cone 9 and have from 3 to 10 applications on them - by dipping, pouring, spraying, dry-shaking: wet glazes, dry glazes, clay slips, crawling glazes, cone 5 commercial glazes and cone 7 glazes that I mix.
These are among the first cups to use the information that I have gleaned from nearly 600 test tile efforts over the last year and a half. I always begin with test tiles…focusing and refining my efforts. When I get to a place that I finally determine to put glazes on pots, I normally choose cup forms: they are both the most accessible (in terms of use and price) and most intimate of clay forms.
This approach is the way I continue to try to expand my visual literacy…to expand my understanding of beauty, and to keep trying to learn how to make the pots that I don’t know how to make.
I hope you’ll join me in this adventure…that you might have a place in your cupboard or collection....that they'd help fill the gifting or daily use rituals .... I hope you'll select a few of these for yourself. Enjoy.
