This mug is painted ceramic, not my usual pottery, but still handmade and absolutely gorgeous in my opinion.

I had a similar mug once, but it got lost in one of the moves :/

    That’s my fear, losing one of my mugs. I’d hate to lose my espresso glasses I just recently got but I can always buy them again. Handmade stuff can’t be replaced.

    Same! I have had a pair of US Western mugs, and one shattered. I still have one, at least. Similar shape as yours here, same artist as the whale one I had lost (and the elephant one I had gifted).

    Do you have a picture of the one you still have? I’d love to see it.

    This is the one that survived. The one that shattered had an antelope on it, but same color scheme.

    I realized you can't really see the angle of the mug here, so here it is laying down.

    This is one of my favorite mugs to use.

    That’s beautiful, I love it. I totally would’ve bought that if I saw it at the pottery fair. The grey one is nice too, really neat shape to it.

    I am looking for the whole set, but I have little hope of finding any more of them. The signature on the bottom says 1989, so chances are very slim. I found the first two at an antique shoppe and the elephant one at an opshoppe. That was several years ago. Haven't seen a single one since. But I still always look for them each time I go to one lol

    The gray one is actually a subdued cyan, but my camera sucks at white balancing. It's an extremely comfortable handle, even though it seems small, and the mug shape makes drinking out of it smoother somehow. Not to mention the smaller bottom makes it easy to grasp it like I like, once it cools down some.

    I was thinking the handle didn’t look too comfortable but it’s sometimes hard to tell in photos. Now that you mentioned it I can see how it can be cyan. That’s a really neat mug all around, thank you for sharing!
