Bronze-glaze ceramic Natla cup #2

14x10x8cm stoneware double-handled Natla cup.

Based off my 2020 Weaving Futures Judaica series, this ceramic Natla (hand-washing cup) was initially designed with transgender Jewish ablution rituals (eg mikvehs and hand-washing) in mind. While the cup can be used for conventional Jewish hand-washing, (or for another purpose if you wish!), it becomes ~trans~ through our relationships to it, and how we use it ;)

The cup was initially made using a mould of the original metal work, and then refined by hand. Though the mould provides structure, each piece is unique in shape and texture, so they are listed as individual items on the webshop.

Unlike the other listed bronze cup, this one doesn't have a groove carved inside for ease of pouring. There is also a superficial crack on the bottom front-left (pictured in image 5), hence the slightly reduced price.

Please note that the glaze is food-safe but not dinnerware-safe, meaning it's not suitable for drinking out of. Apologies!
