3.25h x 3.5w, 10oz
You will receive a cup in the style pictured, but not the exact cup shown.
Katla ash cups are thrown from a black clay body and decorated with soft white porcelain slip and ash from Iceland’s Katla volcano. The ash melts just enough to fuse to the cup, but not enough to drip. These cups have been sanded to a finish that begs to be touched.
Katla is one of Iceland’s largest volcanos and has had at least twenty major eruptions since 2920 BC, the last of which was in 1918. Fields around the volcano are completely covered in this black ash, which I’m told is useless to Icelanders as anything but road asphalt. While you cannot take ash or any other nature from the landscape, I was able to purchase this ash from a local company in Vik who sources it responsibly.
Food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended.
