Hansen's Old Seto cup


This small cup has seen lots of use - sometimes daily for over 10 years now. Everything goes in the dishwasher so I can safely say that this glaze is fairly resilient - if you can make it work. It has a narrow window of about cone 8 oxidation, and needs a little help controling the ash glaze flow. The clay body is an Flint Hills iron free porcelain from Bracker's Good Earth Clays, Inc.
