Inspired by everyone’s favorite cozy game, Stardew Valley. 💚 This mug is perfect for hot or cold drinks while you escape (for hours) into your idyllic farm in Pelican Town.

- stardrop thumb rest on handle
- 22k gold luster stars
- not microwave safe due to gold metal luster
- dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended
Each mug is handcrafted with intention and care from start to finish.💚 It takes about 4-6 weeks for me to make a full batch of work. I start by throwing each mug on the potters wheel, then trimming the bottom once it drys to leather hard. I then pull and attach the handle, cut out the tiny thumb rest appliqué and apply it to the top. While the mugs "cure" in a damp box, I start rolling out slabs to make the junimo appliqués along with the tiny arms, legs, eyes and other details. When those are done being applied to the front of the mug I smooth everything out and sign the bottoms. After drying for a few days I can fire the mugs to bisque, then paint on the glaze and fire a second time to make the colors pop! The third and final firing is where the magic happens when I add gold luster details to the stars.
With care, each stoneware piece should last you a lifetime!
