Carved Mountain Candle Holder

Wheelthrown porcelain candle holder. These tiny cups are also perfect for coffee or drinks.
Once thrown and turned, the cups are carved with a needle tool. 
The clay has to be just right to not break or distort. At this stage it is as fragile as chalk.
The candle holders have to be fired a first time before being glazed with a clear transparent glaze and fired again at 1280°C. 
Subtle by day, the mountains only reveal themselves at the light of a candle, glowing in the dark.

Dishwasher safe but for better care I advise hand washing it. Micro-wave isn't recommended
