A hand thrown stoneware mug, fired to cone 6 on the Garden Island of Kaua'i. This mug depicts a carving of waves over natural clay. The inside, of course, is glazed and food safe, but holding this mug allows you to also enjoy the soft roughness of the raw clay itself. 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: 5.5x2.75 inches Weight: 0.8lbs
