Thrown stoneware mug with Robin Egg blue glaze on the inside and outside brown checkers. The checkerboard pattern is stamped in, so the mug has a fun texture as well as pattern. Recessed areas are unglazed. Unglazed areas are a speckled brown clay. The glaze is glossy and shows off the speckles in the clay. Just a lighter take on a classic check design. Thrown on the wheel and stamped.

All of our functional pottery is microwave, oven and dishwasher safe. All glazes are lead free and safe for food. Do not place them on direct heat and avoid extreme temperature changes (start in a cold oven).
Pottery should never be placed under a broiler, over direct flame or on the stovetop. Let pottery preheat with the oven. You can take the chill off by filling with hot tap water before putting in a preheated oven or adding very hot liquids or food. If taking pottery directly from the refrigerator let it warm up a little before placing in a hot oven or heating in the microwave. Setting a hot dish on cold tile or countertop is another source of thermal shock. Use a potholder, cork or wooden trivet.
Pottery is dishwasher safe and many find it safer washing by machine than by slippery hands. However for longest life, many potters recommend hand washing to avoid chipping.
