Handmade Raven Tumbler Cup, Ceramic 8th or 9th Bronze Anniversary Pottery Gift, Bird Lover Gift, Artisan Gothic

My handmade, hand-painted stoneware raven bird pottery cups are unique gifts for coffee and tea lovers. I engraved my original raven photo, and hand painted with lead-free, non-toxic glaze. The drippy bronze, black, and golden amber glazes are reminiscent of old-world Mediterranean antiquities. This cup is 100% handmade and wheel-thrown.

The photo shows the actual piece you will receive. Expect slight perfect-imperfections, as each piece is 100% made by hand. My process embraces a wabi-sabi style aesthetic. My pieces embrace the artist's touch resulting in a rustic, imperfect nature, on purpose. No two pieces are alike.

A functional piece of ceramic pottery makes a beautiful gift for housewarming, Mother’s Day, Father's Day, birthday, Christmas, hostess, and more!

Once the clay was bone dry, I fired to bisque in my small home studio kiln. Bisque firing takes about 8+ hours. Once the bisque firing is complete, I painted with underglaze and laser engraved the imagery. Finally, the final glaze was hand painted, allowed to dry, and then fired again in the final stage (another 8+ hours).

Caring for your piece:
» Dishwasher safe, however hand-washing is recommended. In order to prolong the glaze color, sheen, and overall durability, I recommend hand-washing with a mild detergent, like Dawn. Prolonged exposure to harsh detergents could eventually affect the glaze color.
» Microwave safe, but take care, as pottery can get hot.
» Do not place in oven or on stove top.
» Do not pour boiling water, as thermal shock could occur.
» The glaze is food safe, lead-free, and non-toxic.
» Ceramic pottery should be treated with care, as it can break, chip, or crack if dropped.

Give as a gift, or bring some original, one of a kind, artwork to your own decor with a unique and beautiful pottery piece!
