Blue Plumflower Mug #1

Hand painted plumflower Mug with blue plumflowers.  Details: ~ Measures: apx. 3 1/4  inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide at the rim ~ Capacity: holds apx. 9 oz  ~ Clear glaze ~ Food, dishwasher, and microwave safe ~ Porcelain clay   My process: I use the potter's wheel to create this mug. I generally make the body of the mug one day, trim the bottom foot the next day, and attach the handle. I then let it dry completely and then paint blue plumflowers and a trailing vine on it.  I have been painting this design since I returned to pottery about 12 years ago.  It's been fun and interesting to see it evolve into its present rendition. A clear glaze finishes the mug, on the outside and a coordinating blue glaze is on the inside. Fired in an electric oxidation kiln.
