Hill Walking – Handmade Mug

£35.00

Single fired stoneware mug in muted greens, blues and creamy white.

As a child my parents used to drag me on long walks in the Pennines. I remember endless grey stone walls and slightly worn green fields dotted with occasional sheep.  The wind, the sun, the space. These mugs bring the wild mountain world into your kitchen.

Description

A natural feeling handmade mug in a satin green glaze with freehand blue and turquoise stripes. The inside is a clear gloss glaze showing the creamy white clay. Perfect for a nice decent sized cup of tea, hot chocolate or coffee.

The glaze is fluid and variable and may have slipped off in places to reveal lightly toasted clay underneath.

These mugs are made of a white stoneware clay which is visible on and around the base.

Thrown by me on my kick-wheel and single fired to save energy.

Roughly 8-9 cm tall and 10 cm diameter.

Please note all of my work is handmade and thrown by eye, not measured precisely, so there will be slight variations in size, shapes, glaze colour and patterns but all within a theme. I encourage the slight unpredictability and fluctuations and delight in mismatched sets. Each piece is unique.

“I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading—
It vexes me to choose another guide—
Where the grey flocks in ferny glens are feeding,
Where the wild wind blows on the mountain-side.”
— Emily Bronte (1818-1848)
