{"product_id":"medieval-clay-coffee-cup-ribbed-milk-fired-ceramic-mug-180ml","title":"Medieval Clay Coffee Cup — Ribbed Milk-Fired Ceramic Mug (180ml)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:314;90-403\"\u003eA small wheel-thrown clay cup, milk-fired to a deep dark brown outside and lined with a smooth, food-safe black glaze inside. It holds 180 ml — a proper small coffee or tea — and weighs next to nothing, which makes it as easy on your desk as in a LARP kit. Each one is thrown by hand, so no two are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:333;431-763\"\u003eThis cup pairs two techniques, one old and one practical. The outside is thrown by hand on a wheel from natural clay, then milk-fired the way potters worked before glazes existed — coated in milk and passed through fire until the surface seals into warm, deep brown tones. There's no paint and no stain; the color is the fire's own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:324;765-1088\"\u003eRun your thumb across it and you'll feel the ridges circling the body. That pattern isn't applied decoration — it's the mark of the wheel, the rhythm of the maker's hands caught in the clay and fixed by fire. Inside, a smooth food-safe black glaze seals the surface, keeps coffee or tea tasting clean, and wipes out easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:307;1090-1396\"\u003eThe form is small and round-bellied, sitting comfortably in the hand — bare or gloved. At 180 ml it's a deliberate size: a real serving of strong coffee or tea, not a token sip and not a tankard. And at just 124 g, it's light enough to carry to a reenactment field or a fair without weighing down your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:279;1398-1676\"\u003eEvery cup is centered by hand and fired twice. If a piece fails in the kiln, it's gone — so the one that reaches you came through the fire whole, and no one else owns this exact cup. It looks like it belongs in a great hall and works on your kitchen shelf, because it does both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:12;1683-1694\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-31:52;1696-2369\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:81;1696-1776\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade\u003c\/strong\u003e — wheel-thrown and finished by hand;
