Bright Sea Green Mugs

$38.00
Sold Out
These two mugs has an incredible vibrant verdancy! This green glaze has an ability to simultaneously express light and dark tones in congress and these two pieces are a wonderful example of that quality.

Both of these mugs are very light-weight and have a great feel in the hand. They measure just under 3.5 inches in height and about 3 inches in diameter.

Each mug is $38 with free shipping included.

*Please note* A characteristic of this clay body is that it is more porous and, in turn, these mugs will begin to condensate on the very bottom if liquid is inside for over 20 minutes. Additionally, because of its porosity the outside of these mugs have a unique texture (see close up photos). These aspects do not compromise food safety, they are just characteristics of the clay body. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me.

The handles on all of these mugs are pulled, which, in my opinion, leads to a more ergonomic feel in the hand. The process of pulling handles is delicate and patient work, as a piece of wet clay is pressed into the leather-hard cup and carefully lengthened into the desired circumference, size and form. Pulled handles are often much more comfortable due to the fact that they are carefully molded from the pressure of the hand and fingers in the process of being made. As a result, our fingers naturally nest into the nooks of the handles, effortlessly falling into a comfortable position. Lastly, the look of a pulled handle is also unique in that they appear to have grown out from the body of the cylinder rather than just attached after the fact. They appear to look as though they have always been there.

These pieces are food/microwave/dishwasher safe as well! To help bolster the likelihood of longevity with these pieces I typically differ to hand washing them but they will be fine in the dishwasher as well. Since the bottom of these pieces are not glazed they could absorb dishwasher detergent and slightly discolor over time but that does not compromise the food-safety of these piece. It would only be an aesthetic embellishment. If you have any questions regarding food safety or otherwise, please feel free to reach out to me!

As the environment is a large portion of the inspiration in my work, it is also on the forefront of my mind when considering shipping, which is why I make sure to use 100% recyclable materials. The packing tape is water activated, which creates a permanent seal to the box and helps reduce the amount of tape I use (and since the tape is 100% recyclable/biodegradable, it can be recycled with the box itself!). I use a thermal printer to print out my shipping labels (using no ink cartridges) and the backing of the labels are also recyclable. Lastly, to ensure that packages arrive to you safely I take great care in packing up my items to send. I use paper-packing materials are all 100% recyclable and I reuse post-consumer packing materials whenever I can!

Along with the wonderfully grounding feeling of experiencing a handmade object, I feel that it is also my responsibility as an artist and a maker to provide you with piece of mind into the steps I've taken to reduce the amount of waste produced from my shop. The earth provides us with marvel and beauty and I believe that through measures such as these, we get a little bit closer to experiencing our own personal fifth season.

Thank you very much for having a look at these unique pieces!
