Small fat-bellied, green espresso mug
At approximately 8 cm in height, these espresso mugs, with their small bellied form, sit beautifully in the palm of the hand. Glazed inside in an ash glaze - almost celadon in colour - the mugs are only glazed a few centimetres below the rim on their outsides. The unglazed body has a coarse texture giving the hands plenty to contemplate.
Each mug weighs about 250gm. The handles have been extruded with ridges giving the pots a delicate appearance. The ash glaze I’ve used on these coffee mugs is one I’ve made from the ash in our wood burner. Incidentally, most of the wood burned is from fallen trees or felled trees in our garden. The effect here is of a soft, subtle green colour with yellow hues over a fairly coarse speckled clay.
