Oat Glaze Stoneware Mug (Batch of 12)
£28.00 · per mug
In batch · dispatched per Fernwood Pottery’s window
The mug Nia makes most and never seems to finish making: wheel-thrown speckled buff stoneware, a pull handle that takes the whole hand, and the oat glaze — wood ash and iron over buff clay — that pools softly at the base and breaks to warm brown on the rim. Around 300ml, which is a proper mug of tea, not a thimble.
About this batch
The mug Nia makes most and never seems to finish making: wheel-thrown speckled buff stoneware, a pull handle that takes the whole hand, and the oat glaze — wood ash and iron over buff clay — that pools softly at the base and breaks to warm brown on the rim. Around 300ml, which is a proper mug of tea, not a thimble.
Fired to 1260°C, so it is genuinely dishwasher safe and happy in the oven for baked eggs. Because the glaze is wood ash, each batch varies slightly in tone — this listing’s photographs are of the actual batch of twelve, and when they are gone, they are gone until the next kiln opening.
Pairs deliberately with the oat platter and the moss bowl from the same opening if you are building a set in stages. Mixed tones set a table better than matched ones; that is not a comfort, it is the design opinion the studio was built on.
