About this Product
The glazes are my favorite here. The interior food safe glaze is a dark red. The exterior has a warm winter wood glaze with the same dark red interior overtop. The two mixed together produces a wonderful warm variegated red. Mesmerizing. The mugs are 3.5 inches tall, 4 inches wide at the top and just over 2 inches wide at the bottom. The mugs hold approximately 1 cup. Just waiting for coffee, tea, cocoa or whatever.
Thanks for looking.
Price is for one mug. I have 3 available. Thx!

Meet the Maker
Many years ago, I first started with clay. It has been a long, on and off again journey. Sometimes the off part of the journey lasted a long time. At some point over all those years, I made it a personal goal to stock my home with plates, mugs, bowls, vases, salt cellars, pitchers, doorstops, etc. that I have made. It is a delight to use my creations day in and day out. I am hopeful that there are people out there who would also welcome a handmade item or two to use and enjoy throughout daily life.
My pieces are all handmade, small batch creations intended to be functional as well as beautiful. I’m constantly learning. Constantly improving my skills. Constantly trying out new techniques. Just continuing to work with the clay. Please enjoy these pieces in your everyday life. To that end, all of the glazes are made to be safe for use with food and you can put them in the dishwasher, microwave and oven.
If you see something you like, but would like a different color, size or set, please reach out and let me know. I’d be glad to work with you.

How it’s Made
First I throw basic mug shapes and, once they've stiffened up a bit, I turn them upside down and trim the excess clay off the bottom and form the foot. Then, I pull the handles. There are lots of ways to make a handle. This remains my preferred method. The resulting handle is formed by my touch and retains the marks of my hands. There's a video I've linked here which shows how I pull handles. One of things I like about handmade pottery. Next step - slow drying under plastic to allow the handle and the mug to sync together. Then, into the bisque kiln. 6 layers of glaze (3 layers of winter wood on the outside, 3 layers of deep firebrick on the inside and on the exterior). Pulling these out of the kiln was a treat. thanks for looking.
Shop Policies
Processing: I do my best to ship your pieces as soon as possible, but no later than within 2-3 days of the order.
Please understand that all sales are final.
As for the care of your piece, the glazes are all food safe. These can be used in the dishwasher, the microwave, and the oven. As with all ceramics, please avoid sharp changes in temperature. Avoid taking something from a cold refrigerator and putting it directly into a hot oven. Pottery typically doesn’t handle that type of sharp change in temperature well…..
Shipping to the continental US is included. If you’re looking for shipping outside the continental US, please contact me. Glad to cooperate! Thank you.
