What we liked

  • + Three-piece interlocking design holds the liquid clay and is described as pulling apart cleanly for demolding.
  • + Makes a finished bisque coffee cup of 7.4 oz, 3.54 inches tall with a 2.75 inch rim, though some shrinkage is expected.
  • + Listed lifespan is about 100 uses with gentle sponging and full air drying between pours.

Trade-offs

  • - Only for liquid clay slip: the listing says not to use it with concrete, resin, extra plaster or stone powder.
  • - Makes one cup shape at one small size, so it suits a mug line rather than varied forms.
