The story

It feels dug up, even though it was thrown in a clean studio. The speckles are iron in the clay body, the way a riverbank shows its minerals after rain.

Raw does not always mean rough. Sometimes it means the potter stopped decorating before the material disappeared.

A mug for people who like the handmade part to still be visible at breakfast.

Kiln Rash

The kiln that fired this one ran hot and a little mean. Ash crawled the rim and broke into iron. Another potter's accident, and a good one.
