The lower body glows with the rich, warm tones of iron-red and ochre clay, fired to a deep terracotta in the wood kiln. Above it, a dramatic band of white and dark grey Shino glaze cascades downward like volcanic ash settling on red earth — dense, blistered, and richly textured. A sturdy, hand-pulled handle completes the form, itself encrusted with the same raw glaze, grounding the piece in the tradition of functional studio pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGlaze \u0026amp; Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lower half of the exterior is unglazed or lightly flashed — warm iron-red and ochre, the natural colour of the clay body transformed by wood fire and ash. The upper half is blanketed in a dense, crawled glaze of white Shino and dark iron-grey — blistered, pitted, and deeply textured, like the surface of cooling lava or the bark of an ancient tree. Where the two zones meet, the glaze bleeds and feathers into the clay, creating a soft, organic transition. The interior is a luminous field of white and pale blue-grey — smooth and inviting, with fine dark speckles scattered across the surface like pepper on snow. The handle is thick and hand-formed, covered in the same raw glaze as the upper body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eForm \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, rounded mug form with a sturdy hand-pulled handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable to hold — balanced weight, fits naturally in the hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick walls with excellent heat retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichly textured upper body — raw and tactile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, unglazed lower body — grounding and earthy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Wood-Fire Difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe warm iron-red of this mug's lower body is not a glaze — it is the clay itself, transformed by the heat and atmosphere of the wood kiln over many hours of firing. The ash and flame leave their marks directly on the surface, creating a record of the firing that no electric kiln can replicate. Every mug that emerges with this depth of colour and texture is a unique document of the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor the daily tea drinker who wants something beautiful in their hands every morning.
