Description
I made Green Flash Wine Cups on the potter’s wheel using a tan stoneware clay. Deliciously shaped to fit in the hand with impressions or dimples in either side of the cups for a comfy, firm grasp.
I use a leather strip to roll the lip of clay from the interior to the exterior plane after I throw each cup. Liquid flows smoothly over the rim because this “line” directs the flow of liquid.
After each cup is trimmed and dry, they go through the first firing, called bisque. Next each cup is dry footed with wax in preparation for glaze. I start with a satin black glaze, dipping the cup about 3/4 of the way up. Next I dip the upper 1/4 of the cup in a red gold. When the red gold has dried, I dip just below the rim in a copper blue. Wow. There’s a green flash!
Fill with holiday cheer! Perfect for egg nog, cocoa, cider, or mulled wine. Great for serving wine for any occasion. I use cups like these for coffee with no problem. Heating in the microwave is safe, simply allow the cup to cool before handling.
Green Flash Wine Cups are sold in pairs. Gift to partners, couples, roomies, sisters, bros, or singles (because you always need a second cup for company). Or split the pair and cover two gifts!
They make a great gift for wedding, holidays, housewarming, birthday, or just to say “thank you”. So smooth to the touch!
Each cup holds 10-12 oz. Sold as a pair.
