Tea Time

Project Name: Tea Time
Clay Type: Stoneware Sleeper (high fire)
Glaze: Green Celadon, Green Oribe, Waxy white, iron oxide (cone 10)

Description:

The trio tea set is made of white sleeper clay. The clay body is very similar to porcelain, soft and smooth, hard to control in throwing, comparing to recycled clay. Nature is the dominant motif in this project, presented by sun, water spiral, and mountain carved on each piece. The choice of glaze reinforces the theme, with light green celadon on the outside, oribe green in the inside, and ocean blue glaze as a result of waxy white overlaying oribe green. The carved symbols are washed with iron oxide prior to applying the glaze. This is a cute and lovely set. I hope it could be inspirational.
