This is a hand decorated mug made from slip cast earthenware. It is approximately 9cm tall and 8cm in diameter. The turquoise coloured slip is applied before the glaze and the digital transfers are long lasting.

The decoration is based on boats moored in Penzance and Newlyn harbours, near to my Grandmother’s cottage. Cornwall is a constant source of inspiration for my work. I used coloured pencils and pen and ink to create the designs. These were scanned and computer manipulated (scaled down) before being made into transfers. Silver lustre adds a decadent touch.

The item is technically dishwasher proof but I cannot accept responsibility for cracks in the glaze or fading of colour that a hot wash may cause. Placement of images may vary slightly from this photo as each item is hand decorated. All mugs show the same range of boats, seagulls and lighthouses.

All items are boxed and wrapped in high quality tissue paper and protective layers of bubble wrap to provide safe delivery.
