The body of the mug measures arroximately 92mm across and the height to the top of the handle is around 110mm.

To make it I started off with a ball of red earthenware clay which I threw on a potters wheel and then I added on a decorative handle and the hand modelled bird. The handle was made by rolling a coil of clay in a mold taken from a vintage cut glass dish. Liquid white clay, called slip, was poured inside to give it bright fresh interior and then it was fired. It was decorated with leadfree, foodsafe glaze and then the hand drawn decal was fired into the smooth glazed surface.
This mug would make a very cute small vase too.
