The glaze flows and blends in a way that brings a strong sense of movement and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The base of the mug glows with <strong>Laguna Mandarin Orange<\/strong>, applied in two layers for a rich, vivid color. Over that, <strong>Coyote Orion<\/strong> is applied generously, creating a deep, speckled brown with striking blue and purple highlights. The glaze flows downward like lava over rock, with a glossy finish that enhances depth and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the mug, <strong>Coyote Blue Cornflower<\/strong> adds a calm, cool blue that contrasts beautifully with the fiery exterior. The smooth blending at the handle and rim shows the skillful control of glaze movement, with natural pooling that adds a handmade charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mug is made using <strong>Tucker\u2019s MSS<\/strong> white stoneware and was <strong>fired to hot cone 6 with a slow cool<\/strong>, which helps the glazes develop their full range of colors and effects. It\u2019s a powerful, energetic piece with both heat and harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Orion magic mug by Karen Beebe\" class=\"wp-image-2463\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_0538-2-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clay body: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwnpottery.ca\/products\/tuckers-mid-smooth-stone-speckle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tucker\u2019s MSS<\/a> (white stoneware)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/crafist.com\/pt\/products\/ms-97-mandarin-orange-glaze-liquid-glaze-473-ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laguna Mandarin Orange<\/a> x2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coyoteclay.com\/Glazes\/Orion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coyote Orion<\/a> x3 heavy over top of Mandarin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coyoteclay.com\/Glazes\/BlueCornflower.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coyote Blue Cornflower<\/a> inside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fired to hot cone 6 with a slow cool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/karen.beebe.142\" rel=\"noopener\">Karen Beebe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This mug\u2019s fiery orange base contrasts with speckled brown and light blue glaze dripping from the rim, resembling flowing lava.
