Hand Painted Butterfly Coffee Mug, Rustic Handmade Stoneware Sunflower Pottery, Monarch Butterfly Ceramic Cup, Unique Nature Lover Gift

My handmade, hand-painted stoneware monarch butterfly pottery mugs are beautiful gifts for coffee and tea lovers. Bring a piece of functional art into your morning routine with this heirloom-quality stoneware mug. It features a vibrant, wrap-around hand-painted Monarch butterfly and a brilliant sunflower. Unlike mass-produced ceramics, this mug is wheel thrown and is completely freehand hand-painted, making it 100% unique. I sketched in pencil directly onto the cup and hand-painted the vibrant underglaze layers with a brush. Each cup is 100% handmade and wheel-thrown. I hand painted with lead-free, non-toxic glaze. A functional piece of ceramic pottery makes a beautiful gift for housewarming, Mother’s Day, birthday, Christmas, hostess, and more! Once the clay was bone dry, I fired to bisque in my small home studio kiln. Bisque firing takes about 9 hours. Once the bisque firing is complete, the final glaze is hand painted, allowed to dry, and then fired again in the final stage (another 9+ hours). The photo shows the actual piece you will receive. Expect slight perfect-imperfections, as each piece is 100% made by hand. **SHIPPING NOTE** - I will refund postage overages, if applicable, for multi-items shipped together. Caring for your piece: » Dishwasher safe, however hand-washing is recommended. In order to prolong the glaze color, sheen, and overall durability, I recommend hand-washing with a mild detergent, like Dawn. Prolonged exposure to harsh detergents could eventually affect the glaze color and sheen. » Microwave safe, but take care, as pottery can get hot. » Do not place in oven or on stove top. » Do not pour boiling water, as thermal shock could occur. » The glaze is food safe, lead-free, and non-toxic. » Ceramic pottery should be treated with care, as it can break, chip, or crack if dropped. Give as a gift, or bring some original artwork to your own decor with a unique and beautiful mug! Approximate thickness: .25" Approximately 17 ounces. Stamped with my brand. *Props not included.
