This handcrafted mug by ceramic artist Beatričė Kelerienė is created using the demanding and expressive process of wood firing at 1300°C. In the fierce heat of the kiln, natural wood ash melts into a transparent glaze, settling over the stoneware surface in soft, sandy tones. Across this natural ash-glazed background, a bold turquoise glaze flows freely—an abstract, painterly stroke formed by movement, fire, and intuition.
The mug’s surface tells the story of its creation: tiny speckles from the clay body, heat-born gradients, and a dynamic contrast between matte ash textures and glossy turquoise trails. Wheel-thrown into a clean cylindrical shape, it fits comfortably in the hand and offers a beautifully grounding tactile experience.
