This Mug makes a great gift for the avid coffee or tea drinker. Unlike most of the ceramic mugs you see, these are slab built and start from a flat slab of clay that is then folded into its unique shape. They are super durable after being fired to Cone 10. Most pottery you see is Cone 5. The higher the cone the hotter the firing and the more durable the piece. There are over 14 hands on steps to make these unique ceramic mugs and each one takes a total of 9 days to make from start to finish. This hand built mug is not just a functional piece but also a piece of art.

Quick Process Overview:

Each mug you see on this page starts as a flat stoneware clay slab that’s pressed with one of a kind hand drawn stamps, real dried wild flowers, and/or real antique lace. Once formed by hand into their final shape they are bisque fired. They are then rubbed with stains to make the impressions pop and dipped in hand mixed glazes. Each one is high fired in rural WI out of my in home studio.

MADE TO ORDER items take about 1-2 weeks to create if made from scratch. If you would like to know more about the status of your order do no hesitate to contact me. I mix my own glazes so there can be slight variations in colors from one firing to the next. I am the only one creating and glazing these pieces and I appreciate your patience and understanding that handmade work takes extra time and care. I try not only to create functional pieces but also pieces that can be considered a piece of art. I am so grateful I get to do this work. Thank you!
