American Robin Bird 16oz Handcrafted Mug

And I bought some as gifts. I love these coffee cups. The handle is large and easy to hold. They are large and hold a good cup.of coffee. My hint is warm the cup with hot water and your cup.of coffee will stay warm for a long time.

On my first try ordering this mug, it was shattered, and I was very sad hearing the broken pieces clink around when I lifted the package. The second time it arrived without incident. I have a lot of these coffee mugs, and I cherish them. They bring joy to my mornings. This one is extra special because the robins are so cute. I have already collected some other bird mugs by this artist. I hope the cardinal one is in my future. The color palette on this mug is neutral and soothing, different shades of brown with touches of sage green and rich raisiny purple. It coincidentally matches my quilt. There’s a place on the handle where the glaze was accidentally rubbed off before firing, but I love the slightly gritty texture under my fingers when I lift the mug and the artwork is somewhat inexact, inviting little glazing imperfections that add character. If you want something precise and perfect, Mara pottery is not going to be your jam. Few of my Mara mugs are perfectly executed, and that’s just fine with me.

Cute design, keeps my coffee warm, but my gosh they are thick and heavy! Could bash a burglar over the head with these. Was not expecting this level of heft, so if that is not what you are looking for, these are not for you.

It's heavy. Not like a porcelain cup. Get your weight training done as you sip your coffee/tea...ha, ha, ha.

Beautiful large cup!

I love the mugs. I bought 2 of them so I would have a matching set. They would make great gifts also.
