I almost picked up the hobby. I had a loss in the family this morning and sentence enhancing words were used as I cleaned up the orange shards of broken FHC mug out of my sink. I knew it was beyond repair unless it was sent to Japan and they would do the broken pottery repair with gold dust glue treatment. It is really amazing how for no good reason a mug becomes a favorite. Now to begin a new favorite mug selection process. It will never taste quite as good out of another coffee mug.
Sorry for the loss....my wife really likes mine so if they come out with new one she will get one of her own
I'll order one, but only if it's a hot chocolate mug. Sorry for your loss, at least it was just an inanimate object.
You could make your own with a porcelain pen, a porcelain mug and an oven to bake on the porcelain "ink". The hard part would be the stencil, but there's a number of ways to do that too.
