As we know, well behaved women seldom make history. This big, cosy mug is thrown on the potters wheel from white stoneware clay. Before the clay is fully dry, I apply a chintzy, floral-patterned underglaze transfer on the outside surface and handle, then use a stencil to add the text “Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History”. The Edwardian-style typeface and purple colour are a nod to the Suffragettes’ campaign posters. Finished with transparent glaze. You can see a video of the decorating process here.

9.5-10cm tall, 9.5-10cm wide at base, 400ml-ish capacity (measurements are approximate). Every item is handmade and there will be some variations in size, shape and pattern repeat. Dishwasher and microwave safe, gentle hand-washing recommended.

Right handed means if you hold the mug in your right hand the design faces away from the body - left handed means if you hold in your left hand the design faces away.

REASON FOR REDUCTION

1 - Vintage Font Blue Right Handed - Crack at handle join. These occur in the glaze firing and the molten glaze fills / covers the crack before cooling, but naturally this can be a weak point. (where I have multiple items with similar flaws, I have shown images of some examples only)

2 - Vintage Font Black Right Handed - Filled crack on inside base. These occur in the glaze firing and the molten glaze fills / covers the crack before cooling

3 - Graffiti Font Black Right Handed - Crack at handle join.
