I am sorry, BEAUTIFUL MUG but not my style with glaze or Clay. I use a
chocolate brown clay and have rather EARTHY glazes right now.

I would not be able to reporduce that mug for you. I will pass on your
email though to a few potters who might be able to help you!

maybe it's just me...I don't think so...but, isn't there something wrong =
=3D
with being asked to duplicate another artist's work? I used to feel as =3D
though I wanted to help in a case like this. But now I feel as though =3D
they should locate the original artist if they want that same mug.

That may not be an option. They may not remember the makers name, the signa=
ture on the mug may be indecipherable, the person may longer be working or =
clay etc.

Warm regards,
June
