Handmade Bats Cup - Bat Lover Gift, Gothic Ceramic Tumbler, Nature Inspired Pottery for Whiskey or Wine

My handmade stoneware bats pottery cup features flying groups of bats between gothic-inspired linear pattern columns. The gray and black glossy glazes are food safe, lead-free, and non-toxic. This cup is 100% handmade and wheel-thrown. Elevate your nightcap with this truly unique tumbler, or use for functional home decor to display trinkets and treasures. A functional piece of ceramic pottery makes a beautiful gift for housewarming, Mother’s Day, Father's Day, birthday, Christmas, hostess, Halloween, 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, I painted with underglaze and laser engraved the imagery. Finally, the final glaze was 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. 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. » 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, one of a kind, artwork to your own decor with a unique and beautiful pottery piece! Approximate thickness: .25" 3.5" wide x 3" tall Approximately 10-12 ounces.
