I fell in love with this mug. The contrast between the naked elephant and glazed surround is so unique and whimsical, along with the trunk being the handle. I bought it for a large auction to help raise money for an elephant sanctuary and everyone went crazy for it…there was a bidding war!!! I love Penpan’s work and clearly so do our supporters. I would rather support artisans & offer something unique rather than buy something from a big box store.
I bought these for my mother and myself. We have a hummingbird feeder right outside our kitchen window, so it is fun to eat off of these plates and watch the hummingbirds at the feeder.
This mug is small, but doesn’t feel fragile. That’s why I love it! Don’t just the saucer with my tea so use it to give treats to my cat - usually while I’m enjoying my tea.
