My favorite wide base ceramic travel mug (I've used it daily for about
20 years) got bumped and is showing some cracks, so I fear it's not long for this world.My mug measures 4-1/2" diameter at the base, 3-7/8" overall height and the top opening has an insede diameter of 2". Naturally, it's glazed inide and out.
Looks to me like it was slip cast as there's a dimple on the inside corresponding to where the upper end of the handle contacts the body.
So, two questions folks:
- Does anyone know where I can buy a mug with a near similar shape?
I tried one of these:
- Would someone on the group be willing to craft me a couple of close copies of my mug if I sent mine to you so you could make a plaster pattern from it and slip cast them, then fired and glaze? If so drop me an email and let's talk.
Thanks guys,
Jeff
