These cups are decorated with a method called sgraffito. The cup is made from dark clay, then coated with slip, a liquid clay, usually in a lighter color. A design is carved onto the cup and when the piece is glazed and fired the decorative carvings appear on the surface. Handmade by a member of our Interpretative Artisans Program in the Crafts Center here at Plimoth Patuxet, each is slightly different. Sold individually.
Note:
- Plimoth Pottery is not subject to discounts.
- Each handmade item is unique. The product you receive may have slight variations from the photo, due to the nature of the art of Sgraffito.
