Ember Mug
A morning cup with an ash-blushed rim
Wheel-thrown stoneware with a deep terracotta glaze that breaks to rust where the soda flame caught it. The handle is pulled by hand and sits square in the palm. Holds a generous twelve ounces.

Thrown, trimmed and handle-pulled in a single morning, then soda-fired to cone 10. The blush along the rim is the kiln, not a coating.

Made from stoneware. Looked after well, a piece like this is meant to be used for years and handed on.
Stoneware
Wood-fired stoneware is tough and food-safe. Most pieces take the dishwasher, but a hand-wash keeps a soda glaze looking its best for longest. Avoid sudden temperature shocks.

Made by
Kiln & Clay
Asheville, North Carolina · since 2014
Wood-fired stoneware for the daily table. Fired in a soda kiln to cone 10. Each glaze is mixed in-studio from raw oxides — the ash blush along a rim is the kiln's signature, not a defect.

My only mug now
The weight is perfect and the glaze is even better in person. Every other mug feels cheap by comparison.

Worth the wait
Arrived beautifully packed. The rim blush is different on each one — I bought two and they're siblings, not twins.
