The exterior is finished with <strong>AMACO Smokey Merlot<\/strong> and <strong>Ancient Jasper<\/strong>, applied in three coats each, giving the piece its glowing warmth and drama. <strong>Dabs of AMACO Oatmeal<\/strong> add soft highlights and texture to break up the depth of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the mug, three heavy coats of <strong>AMACO Textured Turquoise<\/strong> create a luminous green pool that beautifully contrasts the darker outer tones. The overall effect is layered and iridescent, evoking the feel of an <strong>aurora<\/strong>, <strong>sunset<\/strong>, or even <strong>galaxy skies<\/strong>. Turquoise shimmer and golden flecks throughout the surface add dimension and richness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fired to <strong>Cone 5<\/strong> on <strong>Bmix clay<\/strong>, this mug is both expressive and harmonious &#8211; perfect for those drawn to colorful, cosmic-inspired pottery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7
