Yeah, I really wanted to make sure to not goop on a thick glaze and lose all the depth in the actual mug. I still haven't figured out the perfect glaze yet, but I'm getting there. As for the clay... I'm kinda clueless. All I know is that it is porcalein, with shredded recycled newspaper to hold its shape while taking it out of the mold. The original sculpt was done with a buttery smooth porcalein that was so nice to carve when it got leather hard. This mug on ebay is high fire, but the limited edition 100 will be much lower fire, so it holds an even 12 oz. and I can get a more vibrant color!
