Hand built tall mug with sgraffito design.
The lyrics on the opposite side are part of the song, Nocturn, by Kate Bush, from the album Aerial.
The clay is rolled out and cut into 3 sections, base handle and main section. No wheel is used. This slab process takes approximately 3 weeks from start to finish.
Once the mug is leather hard, black underglaze is added and the sgraffito design is carved into the clay.
Once the mug is dried and bisque fired, the underglaze is added to the lyrics and washed off, then a transparent glaze is brushed over the outside to give the mug a shine.
The inside of the mug is a selection of coloured glazes, overlayed to run into each other, with a blackbird singing inside - hand carved in sgraffito.
Stoneware fired and dishwasher safe.
Perfect for a Kate Bush fan!
