This is an extra mug that I made. The fun story around this mug is that during the craziness of AP week I just wanted to be able to do ceramics in between hours of studying but since I didn't have a ceramics wheel, I decided to bring home a couple porcelain projects and some tools so that I could just carve out some designs to relax my mind. I love how this mug turned out. The metallic brown glaze separated into its components when it was fired so some of it looks irony red and some of it is greenish like copper. The feeling of this mug is supposed to be very resigned. There's strong lines, lots of contrast and a combination of abstract and shapes. I like the way the dark colors look on the porcelain. It makes the whole piece stand out. This is one of my favorite designs that I've done yet.
