The Ravens Mugs
Caffeinate yourself every morning with these babies.
“Sgraffito” is an artistic technique in which a layer of color (usually slip or underglaze) is added on top of the clay while it is still leather-hard. Then the top layer is scratched or carved away to show the clay underneath and to reveal a pattern or design. Once the piece has dried, it is fired in a kiln. A glossy glaze is added and the piece is fired again to a higher temperature.
If you look closely, you can see where all the clay was carved away. Its a long process and can take up to 2 hours to just do the carving (not including the creation of the mug, the under-glazing and the glazing and the firing) Each piece is carved by hand without patterns - these are all my own freeform drawings. Each piece is completely unique and one of a kind. So, even if you see a few mugs with similar drawings, no two are the same.
It is a piece of art.
This listing is for ONE mug. Choose below.
*The Black interior mug is discounted because there is a crack flaw on the bottom. The mug crack has been fixed so that it is functional, but it still has a visual flaw. See last picture.
*All of my work is handmade using slabs, pinching or coiling methods so you may see how my hands manipulated the clay with their perfect imperfections. They can be put in the microwave or the dishwasher, but as with any handmade item, they will last much longer with handwashing and gentle care.
Each piece varies, but these mugs hold 8 oz/1 cup.
