BMF Mug Black and Purple Swirls

This hand-thrown ceramic mug is a lively celebration of color and motion. Formed on the wheel from smooth white clay, it has a gently rounded body, a comfortable handle, and a balanced weight that feels just right in the hand.

Across the surface, swirls of various glazes flow freely over the pale clay body, creating a dynamic, painterly effect. Each curve following the subtle throwing lines beneath. The white clay peeks through in places, brightening the palette and enhancing the contrast between the layered colors.

Where the glazes overlap, they blend and feather into one another, forming unexpected variations and organic transitions. Some areas are glossy and glass-like, while others break slightly over raised ridges, revealing lighter tones and emphasizing texture. The result is a sense of movement—as though the colors were captured mid-spin on the wheel.

Both functional and expressive, this mug transforms an everyday ritual into something artistic and special. No two are ever exactly alike, as the swirling glaze patterns develop uniquely in the kiln, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work of handmade craftsmanship.
