dovetail mugs (no23 and 24)

stoneware body / beech handles
.
each of these dovetail mugs is made using the traditional slip casting process together with a hand-shaped hardwood handle, secured into place by way of a tapered dovetail joint.
.
we use only high fire clays (both stoneware and porcelain) with a variety of custom glaze applications, often layering multiple glazes and oxide washes in one piece.
.
each wood handle is hand-shaped from reclaimed hardwood scraps ( a great way to make use of materials that would otherwise be wasted). The handles are finished using linseed/tung oil and top coated with paste wax.
.
hand wash only
do not microwave
discontinue use if handle or vessel become broken
