{"product_id":"saggar-fired-porcelain-cup-winter-veil-1","title":"Saggar-Fired Porcelain Cup – Winter Veil (1)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandmade porcelain cup, crafted through slip casting and saggar fired with combustibles such as hemp wood chips and dried grasses, and wrapped with copper wire and fine wire mesh. The firing revealed delicate green tones where the copper fumed against the porcelain surface, contrasted by soft brown streaks from manganese oxide. Unlike darker firings, this series bears a lighter, almost translucent character — a quiet veil where smoke markings have softened and nearly vanished, leaving traces like winter skies brushed with earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece balances fragility and strength, carrying the unpredictability of flame and metal in pale, ethereal layers. The interior is finished with a smooth satin glaze, while the exterior retains its natural saggar surface, revealing subtle fire-drawn patterns unique to every cup. Warping may be visible, a quiet trace of the cup’s journey through three firings — a reminder of the beauty found in transformation and imperfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: approx. 7.5 H × 8 W cm\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: ~200–220 ml\u003cbr\u003eFood safe\u003cbr\u003eSatin glaze inside, raw exterior with natural fire effects\u003cbr\u003eMicrowave safe — to preserve longevity, hand wash and avoid the microwave when possible\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eEach piece has gone through three firings to ensure durability.
