Ceramic mug_Mountains_peaks and streams

This handmade ceramic mug 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 12 to 14 oz. by Stacie Robinson at Blue Moose Art Gallery
