Lavinia is cross about something. Maybe she's teething? Maybe she'd rather have tea in her head, instead of coffee? Maybe she's just an Unhappy Baby.

Be sure to choose which way you want Lavinia facing; right-handed mugs mean that Lavinia faces away from you when the mug is held in your right hand, and left-handed mugs mean that Lavinia faces away from you when the mug is held in your left hand. This is because chances are good that while you adore Lavinia, you don't want her staring at you while you are drinking out of the top of her head. If this is something that you do want, be sure to buy the one that will be facing you - not facing away from you - when you hold her in your dominant hand.

These mugs were glazed with non-toxic food-safe glazes, and are dishwasher safe. And while I have been known to put my own ceramics in the microwave, I don't officially recommend it -- the rapid change in temperature can cause the glaze to cool more quickly than the ceramic, which retains heat, and so shrinks at a slower rate. This can occasionally call what is called "crazing". Crazing is when the glaze cools faster than the ceramic piece, making small cracks in the glaze. This can happen immediately or even years later, and personally I've seen it happen on many of the commercial mugs I own that I put in the microwave often.

HaldeCraft ceramics begin life as slip-cast, hand-built, or wheel-thrown pieces and then are painted and glazed and put out into the world, all by the hands of one person. I learned ceramics like an old-school apprentice, at the feet of my grandmother who had a studio in the 1950s and 1960s, and many of the pieces I make incorporate now-vintage molds that she bought then. My pieces are unique, hand painted, and proudly made in my own home studio with confidence, mindfulness, and joy.
