Product code: Celadon mug sold with tree spirits
This is a mug I threw on the wheel using a cone 6 white stoneware body.
While it was wet, I dragged a wooden modeling tool along the outside of the mug to create a subtle spiral line. Then, I used slip to create raised lines to draw tree spirits playing on the wavy lines. This drawing process is also known as slip trailing.
I made three mugs with this design:
Mug A: 4.4 inches tall, holds 17 fl oz
Mug B: 4.5 inches tall, holds 18 fl oz
Mug C: 4.6 inches tall, holds 20 fl oz
The tree spirits are spot-glazed with a glossy clear glaze. The rest of the outside of the cup is glazed in sold a glossy celadon glaze with faint spots of glossy white glaze. The inside of the cup is glazed with a food safe white glaze.
