A gestural, wood fired stoneware shaving mug that has been colored by fire and glazed by the wood ash in the flames. It was fired in an anagama kiln stoked with wood every few minutes non-stop for five days.
It is very comfortable to hold and big enough for you to whip up lots of lather. The spiraling shape makes it easier to whip up the lather.
The stoneware clay used to make this shaving mug has been formulated to take the heat of a cone 13 (approx. 2450 degrees F.) wood-firing. It is vitrified so it would not leak even without a glaze. The ash glaze in the mug is a nice mottled yellow-green with lots of depth and variation. The color and glaze on the outside are from the the fire.
About 4 inches high and about 4 3/4 inches wide at the top and has an inside diameter of about 2 3/4 at the bottom. Most shaving soap will fit, but if too big or if you prefer bar soap you can melt it to fit the mug perfectly in the microwave.
