Mug with Bird Handle | Barbara Walch

$32.00

This signature mug by Barbara Walch of Thorndike, Maine is handmade using the pinch technique. Pinched and formed to light, smooth precision, her pieces are made with a warm brown stoneware and finished in a gas kiln. This process creates soft flashing and shading on the raw clay exterior of this soft undulating form. The interior glaze is a speckled cream color, while the exterior is glossy burnt orange. The handle is a matte brown and features a cute little bird accent.

This item is located at the Center for Maine Craft in West Gardiner.
