'Mossy rock' ceramic Natla cup #2

Image of 'Mossy rock' ceramic Natla cup #2

14x10x8cm stoneware double-handled Natla cup.

Based off my 2020 Weaving Futures Judaica series, this ceramic hand-washing cup was initially made using a mould of the original metal work, and then refined by hand. Though the mould provides the cup's structure, each one is unique in shape and texture, so they are listed as individual items on the webshop.

The Natla 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 ;)

This cup has a groove carved inside for ease of pouring, though you should still expect some liquid to pour around the rim when the cup is tipped.

Glaze is food-safe, so it can be used as a mug!!
