Latest sale

This set was delivered last night to a great family who have bought some of my best work. They commissioned me to make 6 cups for Scotch spirits, ea about 3-4 oz. I threw in the tray.
Lots of TLC here. All hand built slab construction with heavy grog home clay mixtures and the outside slab a special textured root and home clay terra sig, burnished and bisk fired then layers of iron and copper oxides outside and rubbed mostly off. White glaze inside and on the lip. I just can not get that outside finish with glazes.
