This handmade, wheel-thrown ceramic mug is for those who believe coffee time should be a little more ferocious. A mighty T. Rex charges across the side of the mug, jaws open and teeth bared, as if it’s coming for your coffee, or anyone who dares interrupt you before your first sip.
Crafted from red clay and finished with a cool gray glaze across the upper portion and interior. The lower section is unglazed, creating a bold contrast with the glazed surface. The T. Rex design is fired into the glaze, giving this prehistoric predator a permanent place on your favorite mug.
And because no dinosaur should ever be underestimated, there’s an extra T. Rex surprise on the bottom: a little prehistoric beast waiting underneath your drink to remind you who's boss.
At approximately 4.5" by 4.5", this generously sized mug holds about 16 ounces. The substantial wheel-thrown form and curved handle make it comfortable to hold, whether you're fueling up for the day, plotting your next paleontological expedition, or simply trying to survive Monday morning.
The mug is food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, so you can unleash your inner dinosaur without treating this prehistoric predator too delicately. Handmade variations in the clay, glaze, texture, and form add to the character of this one-of-a-kind piece.
Warning: May cause aggressive coffee consumption and an uncontrollable urge to yell “ROAR!” when someone touches your mug.

About Keith Hershberger
A dino nut as a child, Keith could name every dinosaur discovered by the time he was four, and spent countless hours drawing them. Now, with his line of dinosaur pottery, he has discovered a way to bring some of that carefree childhood joy into his ceramic work.
Keith creates his images through a combination of hand-drawing, found imagery, and digital editing.
He prints the images as decals, applies them to the glazed surface and puts them back in the kiln for a third firing. The decal paper burns away, but the iron oxide in the black ink sets into the glaze and transfers the image.
