Northwest Mugs!
Blue World Mugs: These mugs are glazed in a cobalt blue glaze then 4 more layers of different blues and greens are added to the top half. These glazes melt and drip down in beautiful combinations every time. No two are alike.
OOAK: One Of A Kind: specialty glazed Mugs that I occasionally include in kiln firings, layering glaze combinations, just for fun. These are beautiful OOAK glaze combos that truly are unique. Grab one while you can!
Aurora Borealis: an amazing play of turquoise, blue and green over a deep black glaze.
Deep Blue: Beautiful layers of rich mottled blue over a blue base. A great gazing mug.
I call this shape of mug the Northwest style because they are designed specifically to keep your large coffee warm longer and to fit comfortably in your hands. These bright colors are perfect for snuggling with on a grey northwest day. Comfortable, roomy handle, four-fingered handle (for most!).
This mug was thrown on the wheel by Meredith at her Fern Street Pottery Studio in the Pacific Northwest. These mugs are thrown with a red stoneware clay then trimmed to have a finished foot and the thumb-grooved, pulled handle was added. The shape, which curves in at the top, is specifically designed to keep your beverages warmer longer. The handle is hand pulled, creating a shape that fits comfortably in your hand, with a perfect groove for your thumb. This mug holds approximately 14oz (14-16oz). It is lead free, microwave and dishwasher safe. They are made one at a time so no two are exactly alike, -especially where the glazes meet, melt, drip and play- but they are very well matched. Coffee tastes better in a handmade mug!
