Ceramic Tumbler with retailer Heart Alien Design

retailer A beautiful handmade ceramic teacup with hand carved and painted alien figure decoration.

The approximate dimensions are 3X3X3.5 inches, and it holds a little over 7 oz.

This cup is food safe and can be put in the dishwasher. Hand washing will extend the life of the cup and is preferred. Do not microwave.

This cup is a pinch pot, so it has a bumpy texture and somewhat wonky shape. For the design I first painted three layers of white underglaze on the outside and inside of the bowl. After that has dried I used the method of sgraffito to hand carve a figurative design. I then used underglaze to paint the carvings. After the bisque fire I applied a dark purple glaze onto the carved design and sponge it off so it stays only in the carved ridges. I then cover the whole cup with a clear glossy glaze.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this piece or if you would like to order multiples similar to this design and shape. Due to the nature of the hand carving and pinch pot construction no two pieces will be exactly alike.
