12 Ounce | 350 ML Chawan Bowl with Spout | Pink Tea Cup

Hand throwing tea cup with spout made from stoneware clay and fired at high temperature. This cup is microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe suitable for making tea for one serving. Size Holds 350 mL or 12 ounce Width 12 cm Tall 6.5 cm I glazed this cup with satin yellow on the outside and gloss pink on the inside for a nice contrast. The opening of the cup is perfect for whisking to mix tea.(11-13 cm is the good width.) Ceramic work is typically fired twice: It is Bisque fired and then Glaze fired I begins by wedging the clay to make sure it doesn’t have any air bubbles, and then it is thrown on the wheel head. Once the mug has dried to leather hard which usually take about 1-2 days, I will trim and add the handle. It is then Bisque fired for 6-8 hours at around 1,830 - 1,940 F in order to make strengthen the clay and transform it into a porous state for glazing. After I glaze my piece, the last step is glaze firing at a temperature of 2,185 - 2,232 F (I use cone 6 @ my home studio) usually taking about 24 hours, depending on kiln size and time to cool down. All my work is thrown on the wheel and fired in an electric kiln from a small home studio in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.
