Our artisan, Jacquie of Connecticut, hand throws clay on a potter's wheel, creating stunning stoneware mugs. She hand shapes every embellishment, adding to the vessel. Mugs are then glazed and kiln fired. This blue mug is fashioned as a whale with a happy expression and the handle is the whale's tail. No two mugs are exactly alike. Approx. 3'' tall, holds 12 oz. Made in the USA.
