More Birthday Loot

I was so excited about the Muppets and the gingerbread that I forgot I bought myself a present last November. Today at lunch I poured my first cup of tea into this mug by Ghita Levin. It looks like a soft slab constructed pot, but it has no seam. She told me she used dowels of increasing diameters to roll a donut of clay from the inside. The glaze and clay texture makes me think of fish scale leather. Which is nicer than it sounds. The mug has finger and thumb divots that make it very comfortable to hold.
