Smokey Merlot and Ancient Jasper with Textured Turquoise

Stoneware mug by MerakiDesigned, featuring Smokey Merlot and Ancient Jasper with Textured Turquoise

This bold and vibrant mug by MerakiDesigned features a rich glaze blend that transitions from deep purples to intense blues, creating a cascading, sunset-like effect. The exterior is finished with AMACO Smokey Merlot and Ancient Jasper, applied in three coats each, giving the piece its glowing warmth and drama. Dabs of AMACO Oatmeal add soft highlights and texture to break up the depth of color.

Inside the mug, three heavy coats of AMACO Textured Turquoise create a luminous green pool that beautifully contrasts the darker outer tones. The overall effect is layered and iridescent, evoking the feel of an aurora, sunset, or even galaxy skies. Turquoise shimmer and golden flecks throughout the surface add dimension and richness.

Fired to Cone 5 on Bmix clay, this mug is both expressive and harmonious – perfect for those drawn to colorful, cosmic-inspired pottery.
