Northwest Mugs: OOAK, Blue World, Pink Sunset, Aurora Borealis

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 include in each kiln firing testing glaze combinations, just for fun. These are fun OOAK glaze combos that truly are unique. Grab one while you can!

Aurora Borealis: an amazing play of  turquoise, blue and green on a deep black glaze.

Pink Sunset: a melting of layered blues and pinks which mirror a pink sunset sky.

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. The mug was thrown with a white stoneware clay then trimmed to have a finished foot and the 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!
