About the Glazing Process:
Cone 10 reduction firing is a traditional and highly skilled pottery firing technique that creates unique and stunning results. Here's a brief explanation of the process:

What is Cone 10 Reduction Firing? Cone 10 refers to the temperature used in this firing process, approximately 2345°F (1285°C). This high temperature allows the clay and glazes to mature fully, resulting in durable and beautiful pottery pieces.

Reduction Atmosphere: During the firing, the kiln's atmosphere is carefully controlled to reduce the amount of oxygen. This reduction environment affects the chemical reactions within the clay and glazes, producing rich and varied colors and textures that are unattainable in oxidation firings.

Unique Results: Each piece fired in a reduction atmosphere is one-of-a-kind, showcasing unique variations in color and finish.

Durability: The high temperature of Cone 10 ensures that the pottery is vitrified, making it strong, durable, and resistant to wear.

Artistic Quality: The reduction firing process brings out deep, complex glazes, enhancing the natural beauty of the clay and creating pieces that are not just functional but also works of art.

Bring home a piece of handcrafted art that combines functionality with a touch of rock-inspired flair. This ceramic mug is perfect for any coffee lover or pottery enthusiast, making each sip a memorable experience.
