Greenman Mug

Description

This is our standard mug, decorated with a GreenMan.

The GreenMan is an ancient pagan symbol. He unites the world of plants with that of man. Half human, half wild plant, almost always male, the GreenMan can often be found lurking in the corners of European churches, many times with leaves emerging from his mouth.

GreenMan is about transformation, about the wild that is inside us all. Like John Barleycorn and Jack in the Green, he is the archetype that is doomed to die as a sacrifice, yet who always, like the green leaves of spring, returns to live again.

My GreenMan mugs is simple, almost subversive. He's a great way to carry a touch of nature into your modern life. Bring your GreenMan mug to the office & when you see him peering at you through the foliage, remember that you to have a wild man inside, waiting to dance in woods.

The standard size GreenMan mug holds about 12 to 14 ounces of your favorite hot or cold beverage. Green tea with some mint honey, perhaps? Or perhaps a strong stout? It's really up to you. Whichever you choose, GreenMan will faithfully guard your drink & your hidden wild man.

*Please note that this listing is for ONE standard MUG only. The larger mugs in some of the pictures is available in a separate listing elsewhere in my store.

PLEASE NOTE: Dancing Pig Pottery is a full time production studio.
Thus, unless otherwise noted, you are buying a pot very similar to, but not exactly like the one in the photo(s). Our pots are like siblings, not identical twins. You can tell they came from the same source, but each is unique.
All of our pots are individually made, decorated & fired, so variations in size, shape & colour are unavoidable & in our opinion, actually desirable. These variations are proof that our pots are made by people & not machines. If nuances are important to you, or you are a control freak (like me!) then please contact us BEFORE you buy- i can send you pictures of the exact pot we have in stock or a selection of pots for you to choose from.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of our glazes are lead free & food safe.
Our pots are safe for the dishwasher & microwave, but they'll live a happier, longer life if they are hand washed and not nuked too often.

In the unlikely event your purchase arrives broken or damaged, please let us know as soon as possible- we'll refund your purchase price + shipping costs quickly and cheerfully (i've been shipping pottery for 10+ years and have only had 3 pots break in transit, so we're cautiously optimistic in making this promise).
