The chrysanthemum images and blue glaze will bring beauty to your sipping. Enjoy your morning coffee even more when you get extra cozy with a new favorite mug that fits in the nooks and crannies of your hand just perfectly. I hear it all the time: these handles are extra comfortable. The curves fit your fingers just right, no matter the size, and allow for a few fingers to wrap inside the loop, making sure there's no fumbling about. Pair the curvy handle with dimples at the attachments and the angled shape of the mug's neck, and your fingers are bound to linger a bit beyond your sip, luxuriating in moment of tactile pleasure. Oh my.

These stoneware handmade mugs were thrown on a wheel and the flower images were screen printed on individually with blue underglaze. The images are from my own hand drawings of blossoms. I then covered the mugs with clear glaze, loaded them up into the kiln and fired it up to roughly 2200° F

The mug stands about 4" high, offering plenty of space to fill with your favorite beverage.

No one needs more work, so it'll be easy living with these dishwasher and microwave safe mugs. And they are definitely safe for your food and drink!

Please understand that the mugs you receive may not be these exact mugs, but I promise they will remain true to the work pictured. Pretty much, you'll enjoy what you receive unless you just really loved the way the handle crested over a few of the petals. Handmade, ya hear?

Shipping, ugh, what a bummer. It's not just you, I'm not happy about how expensive it is either. USPS, UPS, FedEx, none of them are cheap. What I can offer you is 1) if you convo me your zip code I'll see if I can get a more exact, and hopefully lower, rate 2) if the shipping cost listed is more than $1 difference from the actual, I'll refund the difference 3) I can promise that all shipping materials are used (but clean!) to both keep down costs and help mama earth. I hope this helps!

The mugs are also available individually and as sets of 4, look for the listing in my Etsy shop.
