This specific mug has a small visual distraction from the texture needed to attach the handle; it resembles a crack but is not one & is not in risk of affecting the function. It is shown in the pictures for this listing.
These Collaborative Mugs were formed by potter Joel Cherrico and glazed by artist Sienna Cherrico, showcasing both of their talents. Sienna displays her love of the prairie grasses & the simple design of "plants" that surround the studio on a mug you can enjoy in your home. This mug holds about a medium to large cup of coffee.
All of our Stoneware and porcelain pottery is 100% food and dishwasher safe.
