Stoneware Birch Tree Mug – Hand-Thrown Ceramic Art for Everyday Use

Enjoy your morning ritual with a handcrafted mug that combines artistry and function. This stoneware mug, thrown by Kim Filiaggi and finished with Elizabeth Schowachert’s sgraffito birch tree design, offers both visual beauty and exceptional usability. Each piece is made from Laguna B-Mix stoneware, valued for its smooth texture, durability, and refined feel.

The surface imagery is created using an underglaze-carving technique that reveals a striking black-and-white birch forest against warm, natural tones. The mug’s shape and handle are thoughtfully designed for balance, comfort, and a pleasing weight in the hand.

Features:

• Material: High-fired stoneware, Laguna B-Mix clay
• Technique: Hand-thrown form with sgraffito surface design
• Design: Birch tree motif 
• Finish:
  • Interior Glaze Color: Obsidian
  • Exterior Glaze Color: Clear
• Microwave and dishwasher safe
• Dimensions: Approximately 3.75" tall × 3.2" wide (excluding handle)

Each mug is individually made, so slight variations in form and pattern make every piece one of a kind.
