Sometimes when I am in the
studio, having a large cup of coffee saves me from going back up to the kitchen
coffeepot for more java. Over the years of this practice, people who have
visited the studio, especially those in Cleveland were always curious;
"can you make me one of those?", thus began the making
of large mugs. The illustrated plum blossom mug is a pretty good size, yet
fits well in the hand. Made of terra cotta with black, white and coral red
slips it holds exactly 24 ounces with room to spare for cream and yes, lots of
sugar. Is it possible it is too large for a mug being larger than a Starbuck's
venti, possibly, but not if you ask the right coffee aficionados.
My two favorite coffee
quips;
"Coffee, if your not
shaking you need another cup"
"Drink coffee, do
stupid things way faster and with lots more energy."
