This Jupiter Mug has a small amount of 24 karat gold on the thumb spot. It was fired sideways, hung from the handle at 2,280 degrees F. The charming imperfections of this mug make it truly unique.
Experience your coffee in the finest mugs in the cosmos. Jupiter Mugs are:
Handmade: skillfully crafted on a pottery wheel by renowned artist Joel Cherrico.
Functional: 100% non-toxic and safe to drink from daily.
Valuable: accents of 24 karat gold.
Earthen: made from iron, copper, cobalt, feldspar, silica, and wood ash.
Colorful: in bright light, more colors appear.
Unique: kiln fired to 2,280 degrees F. from 101% solar electric offset.
One-of-a-kind: No two mugs are identical.
Limited: made in small batches by Joel Cherrico
Durable: made from chip resistant Stoneware clay, more durable than most clay mugs.
Timeless: if used carefully, your mug will last more than a lifetime. But use it carefully. Every mug is ceramic. Ceramic can break if dropped or hit against a surface.
CAUTION: every mug is ceramic. If you drop it, or hit it against something, it can break. Broken pottery cannot be repaired. Learn more on our Terms and Conditions page here: cherricopottery.com/terms-and-conditions
Vibrant color contrasts on circular, slowly crafted mugs only come through hours of tedious work. Interior, food-safe colors are also tediously applied. About 10 different pottery glazes, created by Joel Cherrico from custom glaze chemistry and appliction, must melt in extraordinary ways, in order for each mug to be successfully finished.
They are unique, functional pieces of cosmic art that are truly out of this world.
The interior of your Jupiter Mug is inspired by a firestorm of nebula gases captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, created by Joel Cherrico.
"I think of these mug colors as abstract paintings. Real images of deep space galaxy cloud clusters and nebula inspire my abstract glaze paintings, meant to reference the night sky. I created my own form of glaze chemistry to translate these feats of nature onto a coffee mug, by hand, so no two mugs are identical. Your mug is a piece of art, but also meant to be used and enjoyed everyday."
