A tall stein-style mug with a long handle big enough to fit your whole hand in. These are very comfortable to hold, either by gripping the handle the traditional way or by grasping the mug with your fingers threaded through the handle. (Like a hug for your mug).


This mug sat on it's side in the wood kiln, which gives it a distinctive dot pattern on one side (from sitting on wad clay) and a rich, velvety dark-brown glazing with mottled wood-ash deposits on the other. This is the kind of pot that shows why wood kilns are so unique and so exciting.


Approximately 4.25" tall. Holds 14-16 oz.

Microwave and Dishwasher safe.
