These stoneware mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe, making them ideal to enjoy coffee (or tea!) regularly.

The exposed stoneware clay is a rich beige. For every color option, the inside of the mug and the rim are glazed.
• Midnight Sky (Navy) is the most popular glaze and shown on the mug in the photos. This glaze has pooling navy on the outside and a slightly lighter blue color on the inside.
• Alpine Moss (Green) has blue and brown undertones that often make the throwing rings shine through.
• Speckled White (White) is a satin glaze with tiny black and brown specks.
• Canyon Clay (Brown) is a popular earthy glaze with a unique multicolored drip effect on the inside of the mug.

Each mug comfortably fits up to 100 characters. The negative space looks lovely with only 3-5 lines or even a short phrase. Longer lines will wrap around the mug a bit. I'll choose line breaks that make sense and your text will be centered unless you specify otherwise. The usual dimensions are approximately 4.5 inches tall with a 3.5-inch diameter rim. This large mug size comfortably holds about 16-18 ounces.

Clay needs time to slowly dry, be fired in the kiln, cool, have glaze applied, and be fired and cool again. This can’t be rushed without risking cracks. The mugs are created and fired in small batches, so your mug will take 2-6 weeks to make, depending on where the current batch is in my handmade process.

The first mug I made in this style said, "Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?" I was so scared to start selling my handmade pottery, but my husband encouraged me to start. I made that mug before my 4-year-old daughter was born, and now she joins me in the studio. I'm glad I started selling my pottery because now I can make mugs like this with words that are special to you and yours!

I ordered my set of mugs for mine and my husband’s 21st wedding anniversary. He loved them and I was so pleased with the craftsmanship. A picture and thank you note was packaged with them. As a fellow artist, I really appreciated those as well.
