The cup is made from white stoneware clay. The outside glaze is called Val's Turquoise. 2 coats of this glaze was applied and 2 coats of clear gloss base glaze was bushed on the inside.

The cup is food safe, microwave-safe, is 4 inches high x 3-3/8 inches dia, and weighs 15oz without packing. The cup holds 13 oz filled to the rim.

Look at the pics carefully. There ate areas where the color of the turquoise bleeds out but the area is still covered with a gloss glaze. As far as i know, there isnt a way for the color to disappear in the firing. Also there appears to be an area where a trace of the turquoise beld thru the wax resist protection of the rim, on the inside. The price is reduced because of these faults.
