This hand-painted ladybug mug pairs a rich red stoneware body with a variegated green glazed interior — no two mugs glaze exactly alike. Wheel-thrown, hand-painted, and finished with a warm antiqued exterior, it's the kind of mug that makes a coffee break feel like a small ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eClay Body: Red stoneware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCapacity: Holds approx. 15 fl oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: approx. 3.75\" tall x 3.75\" wide at the rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRim: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInterior Glaze: Variegated green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eExterior Finish: Black wash, hand wet-sanded to a smooth matte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFood safe, dishwasher safe, microwave safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach mug begins on the potter's wheel and is trimmed by hand once the rim is dry enough to hold its shape. While the clay is still wet, I transfer a light green slip design using a newsprint technique — a slow, hands-on step that can't be rushed. After the first firing, I apply a black wash by hand for a subtle antiqued look on the outside, then a variegated green glaze to the interior. The ladybugs and leaves are painted entirely by hand before the mug goes back into the kiln for its second and final firing. Once glazed, I wet-sand the exterior by hand for a finish that feels as good as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade by hand in small batches in my Denver studio — no AI, no mass production, just one potter and a paintbrush.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Pottery Venture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48914599608494,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7303\/9927\/files\/ladybug2.jpg?v=1786824526","url":"https:\/\/littlepotteryventure.com\/products\/lady-bug-mug-2-15-oz","provider":"Anne Egitto, studio potter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
