Bring a little prehistoric charm to your morning beverage with this handmade, wheel-thrown ceramic mug, featuring a woolly mammoth design fired into the glaze for a lasting finish. The rich, earthy colors and mammoth imagery give this piece a wonderfully rustic, one-of-a-kind character.
The matte raw red clay bottom section is unglazed, and provides a nice contrast to the smooth glazed surface of the top and interior.
Measuring about 4.5" by 4.5", this is a generously sized mug with a capacity of about 16 ounces, making it perfect for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or any favorite beverage. The curved handle provides plenty of room for a comfortable grip, while the substantial form gives it a satisfying feel in the hand.
This mug is food safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe, making it as practical for everyday use as it is fun to use. Because it's handmade, subtle variations in the clay, glaze, texture, and shape are part of its character and make each piece unique.

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.
