One gorgeous ceramic mug with bees and flowers. There are many ceramic dishes in the bee theme available in my shop. Links to more listings at the bottom of this description.
**********
Every piece of handcrafted pottery is made by my husband and I in our Ohio studio. Each handmade mug is beautifully unique and perfectly imperfect just like us. Each piece of pottery will match as a dish set, but all will vary from each other with brilliant uniqueness that is the hallmark of handmade. Each coffee mug is built from flat slabs of clay and not wheel thrown. During the kiln firing process they can warp slightly out of round. This is not considered a defect, but instead it makes each drinking cup unique and interesting.
**********
Each brown bee mug is about
14-16 fluid ounces
3.75 - 4.25 inches tall
3.25 - 3.75 inches in diameter across the almost round tops

Color is something that is hard to show on a computer screen. Each different device shows color based on the factory settings. Each stoneware dish in the bee collection is first glazed by hand to highlight the bees and the red orange flowers. Wax is applied over the bees and flowers and then each ceramic piece is dipped in a lead free brown shino glaze that sits deep into the textured surface with colors like: cream, honey, brown sienna, and mahogany. Shino glaze varies from piece to piece and can be lighter or darker depending on glaze thickness, kiln placement and temperature. When buying multiples matching mugs will be selected and shipped. If you are looking for a particular color please message before buying.
The overall look of each drinking mug is stunning.
*********
We use only stoneware clay in our ceramic handbuilding process. Stoneware is very durable and can go in the dishwasher or microwave. That's right, it is microwave safe and dishwasher safe! The pottery will warm in the microwave and when filled with hot food, so please handle it with care. Stoneware is not safe for open flames or for the thermal shock of ovens or stove tops.
Stoneware clay is fired to such a high temperature the clay is forced to vitrify- which doesn't allow any water to soak in. This makes the bare clay food safe. It is for this reason that stoneware almost always has the bottoms left *unglazed*.
