Danica Heirloom Clay Etch Mug

Wax goes on by hand. Then glaze. Then the kiln. What is left is the pattern on this 14 oz stoneware mug.

Danica designs the Heirloom line in Vancouver. The company says most mugs are made in China, so this one is a Canadian design fired overseas. The clay pit is not named.

It stands 4.75 inches tall and 3.25 inches across. Care instructions allow a hot wash and a reheat. The wholesale shop is not a public store.
