Hand and Wheel



The scales, arms, and tail make this mug look more like a mythical creature than a cup. This mug is 4x3.25 inch. The mug is wheel thrown, but the hand and arms are hand made. There are very few throw marks visible at the top of the mug. The glazes used are chrome green and sand. The chrome green sits inside the scales, on the inside of the mug, at the lip, and on the handle. The sand is on the belly. This project has an anthropomorphic quality to it in the way that takes an everyday mug to a realistic looking level.
