Cider Tankard

If you’re asking yourself, what exactly is wassail? It’s an old English word originating from ‘waes-hael’ which translates to “to your health.” Historically, people would make a variety of spiced cider to share and enjoy with friends to celebrate the harvest.

 

The wassailing, or blessing of the fruit trees, involves drinking and singing to the health of the trees in the hope that they will provide a bountiful harvest in the autumn. 

 

Each mug is hand built using the slab method, no wheel is used in any of my clay work. 

 

One is Black clay and one is stoneware, both are glazed inside and the outside is glazed using the wax method. 

 

These mugs have the word "Wassail" on one side and an apple on the other.

 

Cheers!

Ceramics is the art of making three dimensional objects from clay.

The choice of clay and the techniques used to shape, decorate, glaze and fire it

will all have an impact on the final piece.
