Luna Moth and Wild Roses II
Luna Moth and Wild Roses II
Luna is thrown on the wheel from white stoneware, then dipped in black slip which gives a layered, atmospheric quality to its color. I carve the image by hand and adorn this unique composition with luster components.
The slip on this piece is very subtly variegated and the glaze has crazed, providing texture as unique as a fingerprint. You can see the tiny cracks as pictured. I consider these markings and imperfections as in accordance with the design and visual harmony of the piece.
I see moths as a manifestation of the feminine, yin or receptive energy. They are connected to the Shadow and, when seen in dreams, are powerful messengers from our psychic subconscious.
This mug holds 10-12 fl ounces.
Please note, luster is not microwave safe, it is gold, and therefore metal. Be safe when using your pieces. Hand wash or wash occasionally in the top rack of the dishwasher to preserve the luster finish.
