The Form: A limited studio study in raw pigment and texture. Thrown on the wheel in rich brown stoneware, this one-off mug features a finely hand-tooled ribbed band across the upper body and a lower band finished in a vibrant, rustic Phthalo underglaze. The interior and lip are dipped in a smooth, glossy white glaze, while the base and outer handle reveal the unglazed, warm grain of the clay.

The Spirit: Created as an experimental departure from the core collection. This single-edition vessel captures the interaction between raw Phthalo pigment, hand-cut stoneware ribs, and the intense heat of the kiln.

The Making: Wheel-thrown and hand-finished in a phthalo underglaze. The subtle, patinated variation in the underglaze is a direct record of the mineral's reaction to the brown clay body, making this a true 1-of-1 specimen.
