Adam,
I make and sell these at our shop and I glaze the lip of mine. I drink
tea and prefer mine to be glazed.

Glistering Phaeton on mon 23 nov 09
tist yesterday
Dear Deborah,
Are the lips of the mugs glazed? I've thrown lidded mugs but always leave
the very top of the lip unglazed so I can fire with the lid on. Some peopl=
e
don't like that, so I've been thinking about firing them separately and
hoping they still fit together.
I remember in the video "Pete Pinnell: Thoughts on Cups," he mentions a
Linda Christianson mug that didn't have a glazed lip, which made him stop
and appreciate his tea. Some people are harder to convince...
Thanks!

A few weeks ago, I commissioned a potter friend to make me two lidded mugs.
I wanted my tea to stay hot until I was done drinking it. She asked if I
wanted anything specific in colors. Nope - surprise me; I'm sure I'll love
it. And I do love my mugs. They work wonderfully. They are beautiful.
Yesterday was the annual Posole Party and Sale she and her partners put on.
As I meandered through the gallery seeing what I wanted to buy, I saw a
lidded mug like mine. Ah ha! When doing a commission, always make extra in
case something unexpected happens.
So... I now have two lidded mugs, a small bowl and a gorgeous large bowl,
and a wonderful lesson about the realities of being in business.
The posole was darned good, too.
BTW - our friends said that their 2-day sale went extremely well and they
were a tad worried because of the way the economy isn't going.

Dear Jeff,
Thanks! Do you have any trouble with cups and lids shrinking at different
rates because they're fired separately? I was always told, shown, and
taught (and so I faithfully do) fire lids and pots together.

I have been making unglazed terra sigged earthenware. It is stuff
you enjoy fondling and holding to your lips. You could put terra sig
on the lip. It shouldn't stick.
