Porcelain Bee Mug Light

A porcelain mug with pink and blue honeycomb, bees and an iridescent sheen.

Each mug is handmade by Sarah, and decorated with underglaze watercolours. The honeycomb is carved into the mug, a technique called 'scraffito'! The mug is put through three firings, to a maximum of 1260 degrees celcius: the first firing turns the clay into ceramic and is then followed with a glaze firing. The last two firings are to add lustre - one for the bees and another for the mother of pearl which gives the iridescent finish. The whole process from start to finish takes about a week and is a true labour of love. Sarah is always excited to open the kiln and see the finished product!

Not suitable for dishwasher or microwave due to the lustres.

Last date for Christmas posting with this maker is 18th December. This maker is away from 20th - 27th December 2024.

Size/dimensions: The mug holds 260ml and measures H8.5 x L12 x W8cm
