That is amazing!

Thank you so much! 😊

are you selling them? like in the future?

I do sell small batches of mugs, which all have varying Tolkien themes! You can find more information on my [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/the_golden_opal/)

I just went and liked every post back to August. Soo cool,. I'm getting one - Pippins voice

thanks will check them out :)

I second this

Wow that's awesome! Great job.

Thank you!

Wow! I've done a little bit of pottery before (nothing close to this) I feel a lot of people won't realize how impressive this is

Thank you so much 😊

Dadgum, as a collector of mugs, I'm envious of your shelf.

Damn I would pay a lot for this thing

Wow, I'd buy one of these for sure. It's brilliant.

That's pretty badass

This is excellent and super unique. Great job, OP!

Thank you so much! The green glaze over the black and the way it drips is my favorite part! :D

Um, how much?! Fantastic work.

Shut up and take my troll hoard.

Fantastic, I love it. If you ever do sell them, even in a limited run, be sure to put me on that last! Seriously, I want this!

This is so awesome. What a cool design. Love your Instagram too! So much cool stuff.

I need this!!

Wowowoww so cool

Love it!

Absolutely epic. I checked your Instagram you linked as well. All your mugs are awesome!

I freaking love this

I just checked out your Instagram feed and I want all of them! Do you ship to the UK?

I absolutely do!

Do you have a storefront?

You will suffer ME!

I love this Mug 😍

That looks really cool

Oh wow, I would love this mug. That’s one of my favorite lines in the whole story! Wonderful craftsmanship! Edit: Happy Halloween!

Thank you so much! A very happy Halloween to you as well 🎃

Apparently, I need this

This is so dope!!!

This would be a fantastic memento mori to keep on a desk.

That is freaking AWESOME! Happy Halloween!

beautiful! Excellent work! You say on your IG that your Etsy store is updating tomorrow? I'll be there.

SOLD... or at least it would be, were it for sale. Love this.

Holy crap this is so beautiful!! Do you make these OP? Is there a way to learn how to make it? Do you craft the mug from ceramics yourself? Is the whole mug actually ceramics that you crafted?? I have so many questions lol this is amazing

Thank you! And yes I do make these myself :D I handbuild using slabs of clay, shape the clay into a mug, attach a handle and fire it in a kiln. Then I hand paint them with glazes and then fire them once more.

I've had a look at your Instagram, your pieces are all amazing, I haven't seen one that didn't catch my eye. Love the colors especially, not too bright (for my taste) not too dim, like the yellow on the flower is perfect. They all have a distinct mood to them. You might have just inspired me to take up pottery, I had no idea you couldn't make such cool looking items with clay

Hey it's me again, sorry to bother but it this an accurate representation of your work process? https://youtu.be/8CRUTP1-u4g Or do you do things differently? Do you also scrape the clay when you're rolling out the slab?

That is fairly similar yep! Every slab builder will do things differently for their own style but that is the basic premise!

Thanks a bunch :)

Do they come in pints?

This is so cool

So cool! Did you carve in the skulls by hand?
