The oystercatcher cup

These oystercatchers were spotted, looking out over the harbour. Their bright orange beaks a beautifull contrast to the water. The back of this cup has mostly water, to catch that serene peace that outstretched waterscapes can give us.

This is a wheel thrown cup from stoneware clay, created by Lydia. She was handpainted with cobalt blue underglaze by Christina and topped with a glossy transparent glaze. She was fired with a top temperature of 1250 degrees celcius. 

This cup is unique. Small imperfections are part of the handmade aesthetic.
