Blue spiral V60-style coffee cone, 2023

October 9, 2023

Tan stoneware clay with black speckles and light grog, slab-built, satin bright blue glaze

A handled V60-style coffee cone is covered in satin bright blue glaze except for various swirling lines that spread across the outside to reveal the black speckled tan clay.

The raw swirling lines have rounded ends and some end in a single dot past the edge of a swirl are also left unglazed.

The design is unique across the whole cone. Some sections have more overlapping raw lines and others more parallel.

The tape-resist work continues on the handle of the V60-style cone as well.

The base that rests atop a coffee cup or pitcher has a 5-petaled daisy shape, and the tape-resist blue glaze design continues along the bottom.

Coffee flows out a gear-shaped hole at the bottom that is connected to carving inside that ensures water flows properly through the coffee grinds while in use.
