Wood-Fired Mug

Due to the limited nature of this collection, customers will only be permitted to purchase two of this item. Ships within 3-5 business days.

These hand-thrown mugs take the form of our beloved Mug, which originated on the potter’s wheel and was perfected over a decade in the East Fork factory. Thrown by John Vigeland, hand-glazed, and wood-fired, each piece bears its own unique presentation.

Using Tenmoku and Celadon glazes, with origins in ancient Chinese and Korean dynasties, the Mugs assume their own expression. The Tenmoku Mug presents a glossy, speckly brown that shines purple in the right light. The Celadon Mug leans toward cool green with some crazing and visually interesting variations.

The Long Way Home

“The process of firing a wood kiln takes about two weeks from beginning to end, with four days of loading, four days of firing and several days to cool the pots from the molten hot temperatures of active firing.

John might say it took six years from conception to actualization.”
