Moustaches aren’t just for Movember, they are a way of life. Moustachioed men enjoy drinking tea as much as the next man.

The solution: 450g balls of red clay with a honey glaze.

Now for the science:

Slip:

Ball Clay

Glaze:

Red Clay

Ball Clay

Lead Bisilicate Frit

900°C bisque temp

1080°C glaze temp

These dandy cups (approx. 150ml volume) are the first batch I’ve made and I hope to make more. Cups of greater volume for bigger hands and… ones for giants.
