This is a PREORDER for one handmade Stardrop Tea mug! 💜
Preorder Info:
-
Handle orientation depends on which side you want the design to face. If you’d like it facing you and you’re right handed, choose the right sided option. If you’d like the design to face away from you and you’re right handed, choose the left sided option. Vice versa for lefties!
-
Mug size will be around 16oz. and 3x4 inches
-
Shipping time is 8-12 weeks, you will receive your mug sooner if you are at the top of the preorder list, and later if you are at the end of the list.

- Each handmade mug is unique so they may have slight variations in the glaze and exact dimensions.
Each mug is handcrafted with intention and care from start to finish.💚 I start by wedging and weighing my clay. Then throw each mug on the potters wheel, and trim the bottom once it drys to leather hard. I pull and attach the handle. While the mugs chillout in a damp box, I start rolling out slabs to make the appliqué. Each little piece of the design is cut out and sculpted by hand. When the appliqué is done being applied to the front of the mug I smooth everything out and sign the bottoms. After drying for a few days I fire the mugs to bisque, then paint on the glaze and fire a second time to make the colors pop! A third firing is necessary for gold luster if it is added to your mug. ✨ When working in batches this whole process for 20-40 mugs can take me anywhere from 6-8 weeks. It’s a long time to wait for a finished product but the gratification of seeing/using a thoughtfully made handmade mug is worth it to me. 😊
With care, each stoneware piece should last you a lifetime!
