Big Dirty Pirate Mugs. Fer all the Big Dirty Pirates in yer life. You know you've got some,

Description

Dirty Pirates, matey!
Yep, we got 'em.
These are the JUMBO sized version, for all the JUMBO sized dirty pirates in yer life!
A great way to warn folks off- They'll think twice before stealing your mug if this is the one you use!

These mugs are great looking & they work to well too! They hold ALOT of Grog! At least 20 ounces of hot grog or cold ale, many can take accommodate much more. (i've included a snap of a big & little clean pirate mugs next to each other so you can get a sense of scale)
They're sturdy mugs, great as feast gear, or a weapon in your next bar-room brawl! (actually, these mugs are a nice weight, sturdy but not too heavy, with a fine, wide bottom to make 'em more stable when yer aboard ship) And they're dirty already, so less need fer swabbing 'em out me hearties!

Like all of my pots, these mugs are individually made, by me, one at a time at my waterfront studio in the thriving port of Arnoldsburg, WV. I came up with this design at the insistence of my husband, who is gunner's mate on the Jury Rig, a pyrate ship of no little repute at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. So, while they aren't precisely pirate made, they are made by a pirate's mate, which is pretty darn close! The dirty variation was Jillian's Fault. She's a known pirate associate, and also the once & future glaze wench here at Dancing Pig World Headquarters. When she was glazing a batch of pirate mugs (a very painstaking process) just before Pennsic, she screwed up on one & instead of cleaning it off, she just decided to go with it & make it even dirtier. And it came out looking great! Thus, the birth of the dirty pirate mug, which became an instant celebrity at War. Never one to let a good thing alone, i immediately stole her concept & ran with it. (as every good pirate should!)

These pirate mugs come with blood on them, an added bonus.

These are great mugs and you know you need more than one!

Or per-maybe-haps you need a smaller model fer your smaller mate or cabin boy?! Please look elsewhere in the shop for this mug's smaller siblings- they're there, lurking in the rigging, i promise!

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.
