**Seconds** Round Salt Fire Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Mug
**seconds pieces are reduced in price as deemed by a flaw in the finished piece, please read listing carefully**
Salt-fired mug featuring detailed hand-carved insect specific to a genus level depiction of their natural counterpart.
This piece was fired in Cathi Jefferson’s salt kiln in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island. This style of atmospheric firing owes it’s distinctive “orange peel” texture to the salt added to the active fire, which vaporizes and deposits it’s on the pots. This produces a glazed surface rich in texture and colour variation.
*microwave safe, handwash for added longevity
**reduced in price due to two superficial drying cracks developed in right fore-wing near the end of the wingtip and towards the body, as can be seen in the photos. cosmetic flaw only
Approximate Dimensions:
14-16 fl.oz / 3.5” h x 2.75” rim, 4” diameter
Order pick-up is available at Hands on Clay Collective, Victoria
