Porcelain Rainbow Honeycomb Bee Mug

A bee-autiful addition to your kitchen cupboards! A porcelain mug with underglaze rainbow honeycomb decoration, bee decals and finished with mother of pearl lustre.

Each mug is handmade by Sarah, and decorated with underglaze watercolour detail. The honeycomb is 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 are to add the bees and then the mother of pearl lustre which give an 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
