Ceramic cup_mini_Mountains_rocky skyline

This handmade ceramic cup was thrown on a potters' wheel. This piece is part of my "Mountains" series: inspired by the breath-taking vistas in the Rockies. I decorate my work using a process called sgrafitto. I paint colored stains onto the wet clay, and then carve the designs through the color into the clay. After the piece is fired a first time, I add glaze (the glassy top coat), and fire once more. This piece is food safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe. It can hold approximately 4 to 6 oz. by Stacie Robinson at Blue Moose Art Gallery
