ahmedabad/coffee mug/wired

this mug shares a lot of characteristics with a tea ceremony bowl,
but shrunk to the size of a coffee cup with a boldly proportioned handle.
the textured surface provides a sensual experience for the lips,
which however was not to the liking of the customer´s daughter.
she tried it with milk, but then decided to make the mug into a lamp.
the glow that is created by the tiny illuminants strikingly brings back
the instant when the mug was pulled from the hot kiln at 1220°C
