In the summer I bought a new mug from Tony Clennell that's a generous round shape with a robust handle. I love using it for tea. It's beautiful to look at and my hand cradles it perfectly. Another mug I bought from fellow potter, Yukari Hazama Iverson at the Marlin Orchards sale Thanksgiving week-end is a very similar, although a more refined shape. I love it too! So, I made a batch of mugs with that hand cradling shape in mind and tried to make the handles more generous than I normally do. I hope others enjoy the shape as much as I do.
These are the two mugs that inspired the new shapes. Yukari's on the left and Tony's on the right.
Next time I'll aim for a more elevated foot and I feel I need to introduce more decorative elements into all of my pieces.
Wonderful Post Dear ………keep posting!!

Any photographers around? If so, this mug just might suit them. This mug looks exactly like a 24-105 mm black lens with a realistic lens-cap lid with rubber-grip focus zoom rings. It even has an auto-focus switch that actually switches. Fill this mug with film for the film photographer or camera batteries and an SD card or stick drive for the digital image maker. steampunk mugs
