Pint Cup Set, Wood-Fired with Screen Printed Decals

Description

This great set of two pint cups was slip-cast in porcelain from original moulds. The flame decals were screen printed by hand, and applied to the clay underneath the glaze - they will never wear off like overglaze decals. Finally, the cups were wood-fired in an anagama kiln - one with a shino liner glaze, the other with a temmoku. The outside of the cups are unglazed; the outer color and patina is achieved from the random flame patterns in the kiln and the wood ash which is deposited on the clay and melts into a natural glaze. The intense heat from wood-firing has warped the lips slightly, so if you are obsessed with perfect symmetry, these tumblers are not for you.

These cups blend a traditional firing method with a contemporary aesthetic, and await your favorite beverage. The glazes are food-safe, but the crackled shino may darken in the fine crazing lines if fluids prone to staining are left in the cup over long periods of time without washing.

Designed, cast, fired, and glazed in Madison, WI.
