IONA CERAMICS, Crystal cup, Cream porcelain tea cup
Having trained at the Thomastown Pottery Skills Course in Ireland, Iona returned to Yorkshire to set up her studio. She has recently been recognised as a ‘Rising Star’ by Homo Faber, an international organisation promoting and supporting fine crafts and crafts skills.
Most of her work is thrown on a potters wheel from stoneware clay or porcelain. Iona makes her own glazes and does her own glaze research.
These creamy white porcelain wheel thrown cups have a lovely classic curvaceous form. There is a slightly crystalline or nacre sheen to the external surface. The handle is rounded and comfortable to use - a cup that looks delicate but is actually quite robust. Functional elegance.
Approximate sizes:
Height 7.5cm; diameter at base 5cm, diameter at lip 10cm.; overall width including handle 12.5cm. Suitable for a perfect cup of tea, about 200ml. Also suits cappucino, flat white or latte. Or hot chocolate.
