Wrapped Patina Thumb Cup

Wrapped Patina Thumb Cup

$35.00

This thumb cup is food-safe and microwave/dishwasher safe but I recommend handwashing for longevity.

PuppiMudworksCo Thumb Cups hold approximately 16-20 ounces.

It can be used for coffee, tea, water, wine, really any liquid (or snack if you’d like).

All thumb cups are wedged into a ball from a clay block and thrown on the wheel. Once the cup is centered, I pull the walls up to the height and then form it into its shape and put a dimple in the side of the cup with my sponge. I then will dry it a little with the propane torch and the take it off the wheel to dry overnight so I can flip it upside down onto the wheel head and trim the bottom. This allows me to give it its final shape and smooth out the sides of the wall. Up next is to stamp the bottoms with my logo, dry completely over a few days and then bisque fire. Once the kiln is cool, I’ll wipe off the clay dust from the pot and glaze the inside and outside and then glaze fire the cup. The final step is to sand the bottom into a smooth surface and wash the cup. The thumb cup is now ready to enjoy with a dimple in the side for an easy grip.
