Rooster Mug and Child’s Rabbit Bowl–Quick Sgraffito

I made this Rooster mug in an attempt to offer some easily affordable sgraffito pottery. This design was not as time consuming as my other more detailed work, therefore the average person can afford these. It was also fun work so I know I’ll be making a lot more with different designs. This mug was thrown and altered. I manipulated the body after throwing on the potter’s wheel to give it a sort of crumpled look. This one holds a little over 1 1/4 cups.

This children’s bowl with a cute little bunny and sun design is another example of a quick sgraffito design.
