Neptune Mugs

Taste the Universe everyday from one of the most intricate mugs on the planet.

Neptune Mugs are inspired by the gasses spinning around the blue Planet Neptune. They are so incredibly difficult to craft because two mugs must hang sideways in the kiln firing, counterbalanced. All glazes melting together to create both random serendipity, and also precision of color.

Vibrant color contrasts on circular, slowly crafted mugs only come through hours of tedious work. Interior, food-safe colors are also tediously applied with about 9+ different total pottery glazes, created by Joel Cherrico from custom glaze chemistry and application.

These mugs are not meant to duplicate exact cosmic surfaces, but instead to represent how these surfaces feel when they are translated into clay in the form of a handcrafted, pottery mug.

They are unique, functional pieces of cosmic art that are truly out of this world.

These mugs are hung sideways in the 2,280+ degree F. kiln firing, often in repeated kiln firings. This extremely difficult firing technique creates remarkable complexity. Glazes are inspired by the horizontal movement of gas giant planets, as they orbit the Sun in our solar system.
