For the treasured midwife in your life - especially if it is you! A piece of flowered crocheted lace starts the impression. Then a custom text and flower stamps are added. After the first firing, it's then finished in a soft pink glaze. The inside is a creamy white (though it looks a little yellow in the photos, it's definitely off-white). Truly unique design, these mugs are "slab built", not formed on a pottery wheel!
This listing is for ONE mug. Several are shown so you can see the variation. Photos of item in use are for size comparison and may not reflect actual item. Color may be slightly variable. See photos. Please contact me if you have questions!
All mugs are wonderful to hold and use with comfortable handles, slightly flared rim, smooth base and a balance weighted at the bottom (very hard to tip over!). It will be your go-to mug every morning! Desirable features of handbuilt pottery are the small irregularities such as un-round shape, faintly uneven bottom, tiny cracks or glaze variations that do not impact the function or structure of the piece. Your new friend will have a character all its own. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly!
Each handbuilt stoneware mug is made one at a time, without a potter's wheel. The making process is about 2 hours per mug, and drying must happen very slowly to avoid warping and cracking. Each mug is unique in shape, design and coloring, and holds approximately 15-16 oz.
Fired to over 2100 degrees, items meet the glaze manufacturer’s specification for food safety, and are lead-free. Stoneware is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. Stovetop or freezer use is not recommended. Artist's mark on the bottom.
**Shipping** is never "Free". Pottery is challenging to pack safely for travel. I do not artificially inflate item prices, preferring to be transparent with actual cost in your purchase. Your shipping cost is calculated for one item to your zip code. There is no "discount" for ordering additional items, however, a refund for shipping overages will be made.
**GIFTS** You may select Free Gift Wrapping. A personal note to a gift recipient can also be included, if you like! Put your message in the Gift Message field, not the Seller Message field. If you want your lucky recipient to know who sent their gift, be sure to include your name, otherwise it will be anonymous.
**International Orders** Please verify your country's tariffs and fees before ordering. These may or may not be included in your purchase or shipping price, depending on your country, and you will be responsible for paying these fees when your package arrives. I am sorry, but I cannot know what the amount will be. The tariff code for mugs is: 6911.10.45
