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.

Low Teacup. Figure Ground Studies No. 07192604
A teacup from the beginning of a study exploring figure ground—the way in which surface markings can become both the point of interest (the figure), and also the background (ground), and how that distinction can blur.
The base is a low teacup, in deep charcoal brown stoneware with a clear interior glaze. Buncheong—a traditional Korean methodology of decoration, which involves the application of a slurry of white porcelain was applied to the raw clay body. Then markings were scribed into the surface, and the extra clay wiped off, to allow just thin lines of white to remain.
Perfectly sized for: bobby pins, miniature succulents, or your morning sencha
