This ceramic stoneware mug is engraved with a marsh scene filled with cat tails. A blackbird perches in the middle. The whimsical but ergonomic spiraling handle has a loop at the top to thread the tag of teabags through and the spiral acts as a bumper to keep your hand from getting pressed against a too-hot mug without compromising leverage. There’s a method to the madness.

4″ tall, 16 fluid ounce capacity.

Microwave and dishwasher safe, hand washing recommended.

The signature on the bottom has a little dragon and “2024” and a memento of the day it came out of the kiln that reads, “The wind is still, the sun is warm, the sky is endless.”
