Description
I made Purple Rain Wine Cups on the potter’s wheel using a tan stoneware clay. They are deliciously shaped to fit in the hand with impressions or dimples in either side of the cup for a comfy, firm grasp.
After each cup is trimmed and dry, they go through the first firing, called bisque. ‘Purple Rain’ is the name I have given the glaze combo. First I dip the cup in a purple mat glaze that I make. Next, I dip the upper 1/3 of the cup in a red gold glaze. Once this glaze has dried, I dip half of the top 1/3 in a copper green glaze I make.
The melding of the glazes creates a sheeting, or rain, effect. Each pair is closely matching in height and style. Each cup also is unique.
Fill with holiday cheer! Mulled wine, cider, egg nog, or cocoa anyone? Great for serving wine on 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.
Purple Rain Wine Cups are sold as a pair. Gift to couples, partners, roomies, sisters, bros, or singles (because you always need a second cup for company).
They make a great gift for wedding, holidays, housewarming, birthday, or just to say “thank you”.
Approximately 3.5″ high. Holds 10 oz per cup.
