This beautifully crafted studio pottery mug features a striking combination of earthy and cool tones. The upper portion is coated in a sky blue speckled glaze, creating a vivid contrast to the unglazed marbled body composed of layered brown and beige clays. The handle and interior are smoothly formed and functional, while the overall piece retains the organic texture of wheel-thrown craftsmanship. The raw base reveals the swirling natural clay pattern, emphasizing the handmade character of the piece.
