About MeStoneware small beaker known as a 'guinomi', or sake cup, with facetted body and sodium vapour glaze.
The sides have been manipulated and cut in a rhythmic pattern, while the clay is still soft, capturing a sense of movement which inspires Ruthanne Tudball. A mustard yellow slip has been applied to some of the facets and a tan coloured glaze washed randomly over the interior and exterior before firing in a gas kiln with sodium vapour glaze. This process creates a 'orange peel' texture and warm body colour.
