01-E Olive 'FLOW' Textured Divot Mug, 22 oz. (This listing is for one mug)

Note:  these pieces are similar in size, shape and glazing with unique minor variations. They may also have a minor quirk, such as a couple of small dimples/pits or bumps, or a slightly wonky rim

THE FEEL:  These textured divot cuddle mugs have a gentle heft and a comfortably balanced 4 finger handle. The subtle divots, gentle grooves and incredibly cozy, cuppable base were all crafted to be comforting to hold in a variety of ways. I made each element of this 'cuddle mug' shape as a sort of stimming tool to be grounding, calmly engaging and soothing for the hands.

SPECS:

Rim Width:  2 1/2"

Height:  5 1/2" 

Volume:  22 oz.

Weight:  16 oz.

Handle:  4 finger

Interior Color:  Ruddy Pink

Exterior Color:  Multicolored

Note:  This fluid combination of multiple exterior glazes may develop a beautiful and subtle crackle effect in spots as the mug matures. This only occurs on the outside of the piece due to the combination of overlapping - and well tested - glaze layers and does not affect its integrity. Different pottery traditions put different values on this effect but I love how the Eastern potters see it as a celebrated maturing as the piece itself continues the creative process in relationship with its collector.

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:

Although my pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe, I encourage treating these pieces like a well loved treasure that will be passed down by limiting microwave and dishwasher use. I have lost a few well loved and irreplaceable Renaissance festival mugs over the years that I’ve learned how to care for my own collection to help keep them with me to pass down to my son. I share the pottery care information in that spirit. I have a few of my own Sublime Pottery pieces that I’ve always microwaved and washed in the dishwasher that are all just fine but some of my pieces - like this beauty - I treat like a treasure. I never microwave them or leave them soaking in water. I’ll warm them a bit with warm tap water if it’s a cold winter morning and the kitchen is chilly and I’ll hand wash, towel dry and put them away like my Granny did with her last remaining heirloom china tea cup. It feels special. Like I treated myself and now I’m giving some care to this thing that brings me joy.
