Yunomi in Blue Plumflower #1
Hand painted yunomi/tumbler with blue plumflowers. Details: ~ Measures: 4 1/4 inches tall and 3 inches wide at the rim ~ Capacity: holds 13 oz ~ Clear glaze ~ Food, dishwasher, and microwave safe ~ Porcelain clay My process: I use the potter's wheel to create this yunomi. I generally make the mug one day and trim the bottom foot the next day and attach a handle at that time. 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. Inside is dark blue that is almost black glaze and a clear glaze finishes the outside of the cup. Fired in an electric oxidation kiln.
