Galaxy Combo Mug by Justine Stiina Lustig

This mug features a vibrant, layered glaze that transitions from deep purple at the rim to green and then to a glossy black at the base, with a wavy, organic boundary between the colors. The small bumps on the mug’s surface are designed as a subtle reference to iridescent air bubbles in seawater. They enhance the piece’s marine-inspired character, giving it a natural and organic feel. This design choice evokes the beauty of the sea, making the mug both unique and visually captivating.

• Clay body: Plainsman M340
• If you’re struggling with your AMACO Obsidian slurping up all your colour in a Galaxy Glaze attempt…try leaving the coloured parts bare. On this mug, only the bottom third has Obsidian (x3), and the top of the mug has AMACO Smokey Merlot x4.
• The middle band is AMACO Seaweed x4, slightly overlapping both of the other colours.
• Sliptrailed ‘stars’
• Fired to cone 6
