Local to the East Bay, Matt Fishman creates his utilitarian pieces intentionally, for every day use and enjoyment.
Made from "wild clay", foraged from the Sierra Nevada foothills and minimally processed to preserve its unique character. This cup was formed on a potters wheel, and faceted with a wire tool while still wet to created the vertical planes around it. A generous amount of clay was used for this, and it has a pleasant heaviness to it while still being comfortably weighted. It was fired in a soda kiln, with wood added to create the range of dark tones in the clay. The inside is glazed for easy cleaning. Enjoy these cups for whiskey or other spirits, but they do well as smaller teacups too.
Measures about 3.25" tall
Microwave safe, hand wash recommended.
