Hey, you can't have a grand opening without giving stuff away, right?

Ok, I’m a little late coming into the game, but there’s still a few days left in the bloggy giveaway carnival and I’m adding a cup to the list.

This little wheel thrown stoneware cup features a whippet, a man, a crown, and a bone. I guess it’s all about ambition, or something like that. I throw the cups and then incise the decorations while the cup is still soft, then push out the forms from the inside.

This cup is about 4 1/2″ tall, and is microwave and dishwasher safe. Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway), more cups like it can be found at my new etsy shop: www.MoCoffee.etsy.com

I’ll hold the drawing on Sunday. Just leave a comment to be entered to win. I’ll ship it for free in the continental United States

Good Luck!

    Beautiful work. For the past few years I drink my morning coffee and evening tea out of pottery cups. It just seems to make everything taste better. I have several, depending on what mood I’m in at the time. now if my DH wuld jsut stop breaking the handles off them, I’d be set. (grin)

  36. This is so cool! I recently decided I want to sign up for a pottery class at our local community college. Maybe it will be the first art that I have any talent at. I hope so.

    That is beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!

  51. Jessica says:

    That cup is really beautiful! I’d be afraid to put it in the dishwasher! I would probably put it on my mantle and not drink out of it! I think it would be lovely with a handfull of fresh flowers!

  52. Momto2Boys says:

    Love it! I love handmade! Thanks!

  53. Naomi says:

    gorgeous. i’d be proud to drink from it!

  54. Mo-Coffee says:

    Note to Jessica–
    Thanks for the kudos, but if you win it you have to use it. It’s imperative! If I find my functional pots sitting on someone’s mantle I take them back! (not really, that’d be cruel).
    But I do go through a whole soapbox speech about the importance of functionality.

    …consider yourself warned 🙂
