icy ceramic natla cup

14x10x8cm stoneware double-handled Natla cup with an icy white-blue glaze.

Based off my 2020 Weaving Futures Judaica series, this ceramic hand-washing cup was initially made using a mould of the original metal work, and then refined by hand. Though the mould provides the cup's structure, each one is unique in shape and texture, so they are listed as individual items on the webshop.

The Natla was initially designed with transgender Jewish ablution rituals (eg mikvehs and hand-washing) in mind. While the cup can be used for conventional Jewish hand-washing, (or for another purpose if you wish!), it becomes ~trans~ through our relationships to it, and how we use it ;)

Glaze is food-safe, so it can be used as a mug!!
