14 oz Lake Superior Mug in Randy's red
Approximate dimensions: Height 13 cm Diameter 9 cm (5"x 3"). Holds 14-16 ounces (that's a good 2 cups of your beverage!)
Description: Ceramic wheel thrown mug made with red stoneware clay and glazed with Randy's red and rimmed with a clear glaze which changes the red glaze to a tan colour. The interior is lined with a clear glaze.
Important: this is a handmade item. Dimensions can vary slightly. Each piece is special and unique.
It is made with lead-free, food safe glaze and is dishwasher and microwave safe.
Each mug is carefully created on the wheel. I trim the mug to give it a better finish and create a bottom rim. Every mug goes through two firings in my kiln. The first firing is called a bisque fire: the pottery is cooked, but it is still porous to absorb glaze. After this fire, I glaze the mug and load the kiln for the next fire. For this fire the temperature is higher, 2232° F. It brings resistance and turns it into a non-absorbent item. Once cooled, the bottom is sanded for a smooth finish.
