Description: I currently have 6 hand-thrown East Fork mugs made before 2018, when all East Fork mugs were solely hand-thrown and not machine-made. These mugs are exceptionally sturdy, and I've never broken any of mine even when dropped. Priced per mug and 6 are available. East Fork's description of Soapstone (this mug IS the pre-2017 version of the darker Soapstone):"Lake pebbles, wet concrete, slate. A medium, clean, classic blue-gray." "Soapstone had long been part of the East Fork core glaze collection before retiring and then returning as a seasonal glaze in late 2021. Its formula is based on a glaze called Foundry Hill Creme, which was used on the inside of wood-fired pots made by East Fork Founder Alex Matisse, John Vigeland, Co-Founder and CFO, and the potters who joined them when the pottery was located on an old farm in Marshall, North Carolina.......The contrast of the iron spots, the slight translucency of grey, how the iron can at times have the slightest downward pull. It’s lush." - Cade Hollomon-Cook, Small Batch Potter East Fork Pottery: The Mug:The only mug you'll want to use every single day.Use for: morning coffee, tea, a discreet cocktail DESIGNMugs tend to pile up in your cupboard.
