A hand built oyster mushroom sculpture, fired to cone 6 on the Garden Island of Kaua'i. This sculpture will affect the viewer differently, whether they use mushrooms to eat, to traverse other dimensions, or otherwise. Personally, this cluster of mushrooms was inspired to me by King Ali'i oyster mushrooms that are grown on the Big Island of Hawai'i. They are local, delicious, and of course, highly nutritious. However my obsession with mushrooms do not stop there: I might have to build more sculptures to represent the others. What is Stoneware? Stoneware pottery is fired at high temperatures to make it strong, hard, and resistant to liquids (non-porous). It is made from clay, but it is more durable than other kinds of pottery and earthenware. The reason it is called "stoneware" is because of its stone-like qualities, so you can expect something that is rugged, durable, and exudes natural feeling. Care instructions While stoneware and the glaze I use is 100% food-safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher friendly, to retain the beautiful colors, I do recommend hand washing and not using them in microwaves. Although stoneware is tough, it could still chip if it is bashed so please handle your pots with care. Dimensions: 5.5x6.5 inches Weight: 2.66lbs
