Blue Christmas mug by Elaine Diamond

Embossed Christmas Design and Surface Details

This beautiful textured Blue Christmas mug by Elaine Diamond features an intricate winter scene in a soft blue (Sky over Cobalt wash) glaze. The design showcases delicate snowflakes, hanging ornaments, and a charming holiday train, all rendered in detailed relief. The glossy finish enhances the festive vibe, making this handcrafted piece a perfect blend of artistry and holiday cheer.

• MAYCO Cobalt wash wiped back
• Amaco Sky
• MAYCO Light Flux around the rim

After firing, the Sky over Cobalt glaze combination develops a rich layered blue surface with strong visual depth. The embossed winter scene becomes more dramatic as the glaze settles into recessed areas and highlights the raised details
