Description
A carved mug holding about 410ml, thrown on a wheel, made of Toffee clay. Mat moody glaze at the handle, top and inside, shiny grey-green shades in the carved ridges.
It’s part of the vacation vibes series of mugs inspired by sea shores and beaches or mountains. I use here one of my favourite decoration techniques, gives interesting texture and is pleasant to the touch.

The pot is made of non-porous clay and fired at a high enough temperature to guarantee ceramic mass to be well sealed (so it does not absorb water/detergents). Suitable for washing in the dishwasher or use in microwave. Made of food safe materials.
It’s not intended and unlikely, but if during use you notice that the glaze coating has little, hair-like cracks – consider not using the pot for food or sterilize it regularly (e.g. by washing in a dishwasher). Even though the pot does not contain toxic substances, small cracks may collect food residue and encourage some microorganisms to grow there -although, there was a research confirming that simple dishwasher prevents this to happen. This maintainence advice is applicable to any pottery, not only mine 🙂

I make the items by hand, so they are not perfectly even and smooth, and no two pieces are identical. The appearance of the product is visible in the photos and sometimes the attached video. If something isn’t visible or looks suspicious – ask!
