The shape
Each Thumb Cup is thrown on the wheel with a tall, straight-sided tumbler form and thumb and finger indents pressed into the side for grip, then turned and finished by hand the next day, built for an iced coffee or a long glass of something cold.
The glaze
Blue over a soft sand, drawn from walking the gritstone edges above Macclesfield. On a clear day the rock reads grey-blue against dry bracken, and that is the pairing here, a warmer blue than Cornflower, set on a soft, sandy base.
Approx. 11cm tall, 7cm across · Holds approximately 300ml
Every piece is thrown and finished by hand, so small differences in shape, glaze movement, colour and texture are part of its unique character.
