Optimist Pessimist Raven Bird Mug, Handmade Pottery Coffee Cup, Funny Ceramic Stoneware Gift, Microwave Safe, Glass is Half Full Half Empty
My handmade, hand-painted stoneware raven bird pottery cups are unique gifts for coffee and tea lovers. This funny "1/2 Full, 1/2 Empty" message is perfect for the optimistic or pessimistic bird and coffee lover in your life.
This cup is 100% handmade and wheel-thrown. I screen printed my original raven photo, and hand painted with lead-free, non-toxic glaze. A functional piece of ceramic pottery makes a beautiful gift for housewarming, Mother’s Day, birthday, Christmas, hostess, and more!
Once the clay was bone dry, I fired to bisque in my small home studio kiln. Bisque firing takes about 8+ hours. Once the bisque firing is complete, the final glaze is hand painted, allowed to dry, and then fired again in the final stage (another 8+ hours).
The photo shows the actual piece you will receive. Expect slight perfect-imperfections, as each piece is 100% made by hand.
Caring for your piece:
» Dishwasher safe, however hand-washing is recommended. In order to prolong the glaze sheen and overall durability, I recommend hand-washing with a mild detergent, like Dawn.
» Microwave safe, but take care, as pottery can get hot.
» Do not place in oven or on stove top.
» Do not pour boiling water, as thermal shock could occur.
» The glaze is food safe, lead-free, and non-toxic.
» Ceramic pottery should be treated with care, as it can break, chip, or crack if dropped.
Give as a gift, or bring some original artwork to your own decor with a unique and beautiful pottery piece!
