(1/2) Crystal Woodfired Teacup, Set of Two
Slow down and savor the experience of tea-time with these beautiful faceted vessels. We designed our Crystal teacups to fit comfortably in the hand, following the natural contours of the fingers, so they not only look good, they feel good.
Our teacups also work well for sipping spirits, should you require a taste of something stronger.
Handmade and then hand fired in the down-draft wood kiln, Bisbee (2023).
__________________
Woodfiring is a specialized and labor-intensive form of ceramic firing in which wood is the only fuel used to heat the kiln. The kiln is stoked entirely by hand for the duration of the firing which can last up to a week and a half (day and night) reaching temperatures of ~2400 degrees Fahrenheit, (Cone 12).
The ceramic surfaces achieved through woodfiring are the combined effect of the flame and ash inside the kiln interacting with the clay. The shape and size of the kiln, how the pots are arranged inside the kiln, and how it is tended to during the firing all have a tremendous effect on the final results.
Each wood-fired piece is thus completely unique and functions as a record of its environment during the firing—a window into the kiln during that particular moment in time; both an artifact and a treasure.
