Samantha Bartlett Chowder Mug in Wisteria with Ivory Interior

The softest impression of leaves grace the surface of this salt glaze chowder mug. Although the dimensions are nearly identical the firing process makes each piece unique, like sun and shadow on a summer afternoon. Measuring 3.75″ wide at its rim and 3.5″ tall, with a distinctive shape and generous capacity, the chowder mug is versatile. Stamped with Samantha's initials to the left of the handle base.
