Medium Celadon Celtic Knotwork Stein/Large Mug

Description

These generous mugs are perfect for a pint of beer or a steaming mug of cocoa.

These large mugs were thrown on the potter's wheel and hand carved. The knotwork is designed directly on each piece and carved into the porcelain when it is leather-hard (dry enough to hold its shape but not completely dry). No templates or molds were used, and each knot is unique. A Roman numeral is inscribed on the bottom of most pieces indicating the number of "strands" in the knot.

Each piece is glazed in a medium shade of celadon and then fired to approximately 2300°F (1,260°C). This creates a delicate yet durable finished piece of pottery. If you are using these for a hot beverage, warm the mug before adding boiling water. Rapid change of extreme temperatures can cause cracking. All pieces of the set are microwave and dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended.

These mugs holds approximately 17-18 oz (500-530 mL). The body of the mugs measure over 5" (12.5 cm) tall by at least 4" (10 cm) diameter, and the handle creates a total width of 5.75" (14.5 cm).

I have one mug currently available. The mug that is available is the one shown in the first image and on the right in the other photos.
