A mug with an inlay design inspired by the historic Fairport village lift bridge over the Erie Canal
Meet your new favorite mug! This charming pottery piece is perfect for coffee, tea, or whatever helps you start your day. Hand-thrown on a potter’s wheel, each mug is one of a kind. After the shape is formed I store the mugs in a damp box so that I will have time to work the delicate, hand-drawn inlay of your favorite bridge and mine, the Fairport liftbridge at the heart of my town. The bridge and water scene is carefully etched into the surface of the clay and then cobalt blue liquid clay is forced into the drawing lines to make them stand out against the white clay when fired. The intricate work takes time so these are produced in very small batches of 6-8 at a time.
Crafted with love, each mug is glazed in a clear, glossy finish that’s both beautiful and durable. Whether you’re a collector of unique pottery or just love a good mug, this piece will bring a touch of handmade warmth to your daily routine. Dishwasher and microwave safe, so it’s as practical as it is special. Enjoy a moment of calm with each sip!
