Full Obsidian Sake Set with Cups

These custom ordered pieces are thrown, trimmed, and hand-signed in Irvine, California using Obsidian clay, a smooth bodied stoneware.
The trimmed pieces were then bisque fired at Cone 5 in Laguna Beach, CA. 
During a 24 hour firing, Cone 5 clay bodies sinter into ceramics around 1900 degrees Fahrenheit (shrinking 13-15% during bisque!).
The final steps include pour glazing, and glaze firing once again at Cone 5.
