miss harriette *handmade grid ceramic mug*

*custom order : 3-4 week turnaround* Hand thrown with love, these mugs were made with a speckled clay that makes it a joy to hold. If you’re one of those people who loves to drink out of a mug with texture, this mug is for you. With the raw clay exposed on part of the exterior, it makes any cup of tea taste that much better. Miss Harriette is named after my great grandma who lived until she was 101 years old. She was an avid arrowhead hunter and donated many of her great finds to local museums. She was strong willed with an impressive green thumb.Each item is made by hand with all of my attention, love and care. Making pottery has many stages that take a lot of time and caution. First, I either throw the item on my wheel or I handbuild it, depending on the item. Then, the object is left to dry for a few days to see that it does not dry too quickly. This prevents warping and cracks. Once dry, imperfections are taken care of and it goes into the kiln. This first firing is called a bisque
