EJ, you are becoming such an accomplished potter that I can see you opening a shop. If you do, please keep up your gardening--we need your green thumb as well as the clay-covered one here on the Stew! Great mug, very warm and welcoming glaze. Oh, to have your talent!
Pottery making was one of the 'to-learn' items on my list for many years. But somethings are just never going to happen. Really good to see you pursuing your passion and making some really cool things. The mug is great.
