Ash Glazed Glasgow Cup

These stoneware cups were dipped in a slip made from clay dug in Glasgow, where ceramicist Jonathan Wade lives. This iron-rich slip bleeds through the ash glaze to create a beautifully mottled surface. As such, no two cups are the same – making them an especially thoughtful gift.

On his travels to Minnesota, Jonathan Wade felt connected to the folk art pottery reinterpretations of Japanese Mingei. Wheel-thrown into simple, hand-built forms, his low-impact, utilitarian tableware celebrate the impurities and irregularities of wild clay and wood ash glazes — which the founder personally collects himself. Every unique piece is designed to honour the rituals of cooking and eating.
