Gold Spotted Fawn Mug
Gold Spotted Fawn Mug
The fawn - pinnacle of innocence and purity, receptivity and youth. When you meet the eyes of a wild animal, you see something that also lives in you. The fawn is a reminder to be gentle, disguised in a patch of wildflowers.
This one of a kind piece is thrown on the wheel from white stoneware, then partially dipped in black slip and hand carved into. I distress the slip, let it run, and embrace the individuality of each piece. After it’s carved and glazed, I adorn the piece with luster to evoke the dappled light cast through leaves of the forest, where fawns disguise themselves.
The slip on this piece is very subtly variegated and the glaze has crazed, providing texture as unique as a fingerprint. You can see the tiny cracks as pictured. I consider these markings and imperfections as in accordance with the design and visual harmony of the piece.
This piece holds about 10-12 fl ounces. Not microwave safe. Hand wash only.
