Another stamped & soda-fired porcelain mug…
this time with mustard flashing slip & inlaid tenmoku glaze.

The weather forecast looks pretty good for MUD & METAL today!
Chilly, but no snow until later into tonight. And to celebrate… the very first person to walk into my condo singing “Let It Snow, Let It Snow” will get a FREE MUG!!! This second Holiday Home Show runs from 10:00am-6:00pm.

So the “St. Nick’s Day Online Sale” started this early this morning.
We’re off to a good start with half of the mugs already being snatched up. The sale will continue until this Friday at midnight or when all of the mugs have been claimed.

To see the full selection, scroll back on my Facebook Pottery Page to see the “official” St. Nick’s Day 2016 Photo Album from earlier today. Any mug that has not been claimed in the Comments is still available. Don’t try to buy them from these pictures… some of these mugs have already been claimed!!!

So we’ve just gone “LIVE” on Facebook with the annual “St. Nick’s Day Online Sale.” Just go to my Facebook pottery page to shop and claim your mug. The first person to Comment within the Photo Album will claim their mug. They’re $50 each which includes shipping & handling (withing the contiguous US please.)

The holidays are quickly approaching and it’s time for another online sale! A quick chance to grab up one of twenty mugs!!! The perfect gift for anyone on your holiday shopping list… even if that someone is YOU!!!

So the plan is much like the last online sale…
I’m posting photos of all twenty mugs here on my blog. Both sides of each mug for comparison. Some are the same on both sides, while others have some dramatic flashing effects from the soda-kiln firing!

Then this Tuesday, December 6th at 7:00am CST, I will post the “official” Photo Album on my Facebook pottery page. Once posted on Facebook, it’s gonna be a first come, first served race to the end. The first person to post a “MINE” Comment on a photo in the Facebook Photo Album with “claim” their prize. The online sale will continue until midnight Friday, December 9th.

Feel free to post comments here on the mugs, but keep in mind that ONLY the first person to Comment on Facebook will get the mug! Use this blog posting as your “window shopping” opportunity before the store opens!

Each mug is priced at $50 which includes shipping & handling (within the contiguous US please.) And remember, that all mugs are handmade and one-of-a-kind. As well as food-safe, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe… just not gravity-safe!

There are still some sweet mugs left after this weekend’s Holiday Home Show. So there’s a “really good chance” that there “might” just be a flash sale on my Facebook page in the next week or so… “maybe”… “allegedly”… just in time for holiday gifts!!! Keep watching for more details…

Prepping & pricing for this weekend’s Holiday Home Show!!!
My goal every year is to start with over a hundred mugs. And we’ve got it…
at last count we were at 112 with more to come!!!
You know how I LOVE making mugs… Happy Mugshot Monday!!!

Love this new soda-fired mug that just came out of my soda kiln. It’s a more subtle blush of color on porcelain. Not my usual preference, I usually like them “soda-blasted” a little bit more. But this one’s a sweety… the subtlety of the flashing and satiny-surface might be winning me over? Perfect for another Mugshot Monday!!!
