Symy Ong Hand-Thrown Wide Mug, Chun

A generously wide mug perfect for tea, cappuccino and hot chocolate, as well as soups, porridges and puddings. Hand-thrown for us in stoneware by Jynsym Ong, a mile or so from the Objects of Use store and finished with a beautiful blue Chun glaze. Trained at Clay College, Stoke-On-Trent, Ong then undertook an apprenticeship at Mitoh Gama (Kiln) in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture. She often uses a kick wheel to impart a rhythm that is completely dictated by the body to her work. Ong recently set up studio in Oxford, making stoneware pieces which are fired in a gas kiln. 6.5cm high x 10cm diameter. Please note that the glazes will vary from light to dark blue tones.
