This stunning mug by Karen Beebe<\/strong> features a bold and fiery glaze combination known as the \u201cMandarin, Orion and Cornflower combo.\u201d<\/strong> It\u2019s inspired by the intense contrast of molten lava and cool tones, creating a dynamic and eye-catching effect. The glaze flows and blends in a way that brings a strong sense of movement and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of the mug glows with Laguna Mandarin Orange<\/strong>, applied in two layers for a rich, vivid color. Over that, 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

Inside the mug, 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

The mug is made using Tucker\u2019s MSS<\/strong> white stoneware and was 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
