Heavy Rainbow Mug (commission!)

Heavy-Duty Rainbow Mug
Red/white clay mix; noxema blue glasxe on upper and handle, randy's red glaze over entire area; approx 4" diameter and 7" tall
Commissioned for the collection of Mr. C Stanvick of the Back Bay

A co-worker took a chance on a fanciful young girl from Andover and became the first person to commission work - yay!

This was one piece he asked for - a heavy mug that could replace his water cup at work. The water cups at work are large styrofome contraptions that are a) wasteful and b) not very fabulous. So he asked that I make him a mug that could replace that for his daily iced tea.


This is my Ode to a First Marblehead Water Cup - large and somewhat cone shaped. The glaze is similar to what I did on another mug recently, with blue seeping into gold and red. The inside red got very deep due to the lack of oxygen flow (reduction reactions.)

The glaze did drip a bit near the handle and formed a little nub at the bottom - which I actually kind of like, because it makes it look more crafty and hand-made

Some people have been asking about commissions lately - YES I WILL MAKE YOU STUFF! Let me know if you're interested in requesting a piece or some pieces. Small stuff like mugs is generally a few weeks in turnaround, large stuff a big longer.
