Wood Fired Horse mug + Platter Set

$85.00 $95.00

Full sized coffee mug + wood fired rutile platter! Purchasing this includes both items, the mug and the platter. 

Hand painted gray thoroughbred foal! 

This item is on sale due to a small defect caused naturally in the wood kiln process. The mug does not sit evenly on the platter due to excess wood ash build up, as seen on the platter. 

A traditionally wheel-thrown stoneware mug. The handle is sculpted in the shape of a horse tail, and the bottom features a carved horse hoof with their frog.

Specially fired in a traditional wood kiln.  The flame path can be seen on the bottom on the horse frog, naturally colored by fire. 

Every curve, carve, and brush of glaze was shaped by hand, giving each mug its own natural variation. 

This is considered an art piece that has a functional purpose. 

Perfect for keeping a little piece of the barn with you wherever you are.

  • Handmade from my own stoneware clay and glaze, made from scratch 

  • Sculpted tail-handle + carved hoof

  • Food-safe glaze

  • Microwave & Dishwasher safe (gentle cycle recommendation)

  • Unique - no two cups are exactly alike

  • Wood Kiln Fired 

  • Hand painted horse, 1 of 3!

This piece was fired in a wood kiln, which is the oldest and first way humans ever created pottery. It requires hand cutting wood and tending to the logs, using appropriately a dozen trees’ worth of wood.  Over the course of three days and two nights (24/7 surveillance with a team), the fire must be constantly stoked about every minute in order for the temperature to reach 2,300 degrees. You can witness the “wad” marks (the light brown, raw clay areas), creating a “flame path” where the vessel tells the story of where the fire touched it and the direction. The ash from the wood creates its own highly sought after glaze, and uniquely gives it a metallic sheen depending on how the flame reacted to other “flame paths.” Depending on how the vessel was placed in the kiln (each kiln has its own personality!), the fire itself creates beautiful and raw copper, gray, green, and orange tones.
