There were some bee mugs in the last glaze kiln. I think I like them a lot. Nobody else in the studio said they did. But they feel just right for me.
They are simple squared off cylinders. And inside is satin white, with some of the stoneware showing through. The exterior glaze is matte black, then dipped into the same white over the black on the rim, which gives the dripped down effect. It also makes a really smooth rim for one's lips to drink from.
I seldom make 6 of anything, usually it's 5 because one just doesn't make it. So this is rare for me!
And I'm thinking of keeping 2 for myself. I already christened one with my morning coffee!
Looks SO wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by this morning, before the sun was up!
DeleteVery nice indeed! I like the contrast of the bees with the glaze.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the more I look at the bee with the foggy white glaze over its head, the more I know how bees are flying in spite of all they are up against! Go Bees!
DeleteBeautiful!
