Every object offered by Miro Made This is completely made by hand—thrown and trimmed on the potter's wheel, and carefully glazed and finished, piece by piece. Each bears the mark of its maker in subtle variations of curve, form, and texture, as well as those found within the clay body itself. Please note that no two pieces are exactly alike—more sisters than twins: closely related, not exactly duplicates, but still a family.
Collection comprises the mainstays of MMT—the basic forms of teacups, bowls, plates, and carafes that are offered as a recognizable and cohesive body of high-quality work.
Studies are limited editions of different shapes, forms, clay bodies, and glazes that provide Miro with the opportunity to experiment within her chosen medium and expand her practice.
Seconds consists of pieces that have small flaws such as color variations, marks, or inconsistent glazing that renders pieces not suitable for the collection, but nevertheless, still of value. In fact, some favor the greater variations of seconds—depending on a personal preference for uniqueness.

Brushed White Vase:
Buncheong ware, is a traditional form of Korean ceramics, that originated in the 14th century.
Typically, it's a rougher grey stoneware body, (or sometimes something darker brown), overlaid with white slip—a layer of liquid clay-painted over top. There are many different styles of Buncheong ware that range from having designs incised or stamped onto the slipped surface, or using the slip to fill areas carved out in the darker clay body, or in this case, just brushing the slip onto the darker clay body.
