About this Product
This lovely, tall hand-painted stoneware drinking mug is perfect for inspiring reflection on the elegant forms present in everyday life when filled with rich steaming coffee, hot chocolate or tea.
This mug features circles in various positions, some empty and some filled, arranged around the exterior of the mug. The background is a lush melange of overlapping glazes meant to suggest a variety of complex scenarios.
The mug is slip cast stoneware. The graphics are original illustrations drawn by Amy Roth. The glazes are hi-fire, food safe glazes. The graphics are original artwork printed with food safe paints and fired onto the surface of the mug.
The mouth is 3 inches wide, height is 6 inches, and the cavity holds 16 ounces of liquid.
Microwave and dishwasher safe.
It is a hand-crafted one-of-a-kind artwork (small imperfections are implicit in the process).
Each mug is unique.

Meet the Maker
I am a third generation artist--my grandfather, mother, aunts, brother and my daughter are all artists. I taught art for several years. Now I am a full-time maker. I earned an MFA degree with a major in ceramics. I also have a mother/daughter shop (the original RetroRamics) on Etsy.
How it’s Made
Liquid stoneware clay is poured into a plaster mold. Once dry, it is removed from the mold fired to a low temperature. The piece is then brush glazed and fired a second time to a higher temperature.
