Cherry Blossom Mug — Hand-Painted Porcelain, Cranberry Red Interior A hand-painted cherry blossom mug with a rich cranberry red glazed interior — a striking pop of color against the antiqued, textured exterior. Perfect for your morning coffee or evening tea. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS & CARE Dimensions: 3.5" tall, 3" wide at the rim (straight rim) Capacity: Approx. 8 oz Cranberry red glaze inside Food, dishwasher, and microwave safe THE ARTISAN PROCESS & DESIGN Wheel-thrown & trimmed: Shaped on the potter's wheel, then turned over and trimmed once the rim is firm enough to hold its form. Stucco slip-transfer texture: While the clay is still wet, slip is applied to newsprint paper and transferred onto the pot, layering the slip to create a textured, stucco-like appearance reminiscent of an old building. Antiqued exterior & cranberry interior: After the first firing, a black wash is applied to the outside for an antiqued look, paired with a cranberry red glaze inside. Hand-painted cherry blossom motif: After the wash, the cherry blossom design is hand-painted directly onto the clay and left intentionally unglazed for a rich, tactile finish. Firing & hand-sanded finish: Fired a second and final time, then the exterior is wet-sanded by hand for a smooth, refined finish. Made by hand in small batches in my Denver studio — no AI, no mass production, just one potter and a paintbrush.
