Porcelain Blue Moon and Stars Mug

A beautiful porcelain moon and stars mug with gold stars and an iridescent sheen.

Each mug is handmade by Sarah, and decorated with underglaze watercolour detail. The moon and stars are then carved into the mug, a technique called 'scraffito'! Then the mug is put through four firings, to a maximum of 1260 degrees celsius: the first firing turns the clay into ceramic and is then followed with a glaze firing. The last two firings one for the gold lustre stars and another for the mother of pearl which gives the iridescent finish. This firing is done outside because of any fumes released from the lustre. The whole process from start to finish takes about a week and is a true labour of love.

The mug holds 250ml Not suitable for the dishwasher or microwave due to the lustres.

Size/dimensions: 8.5 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm wide
