THE GREAT MUG VOTE-OFF
Since it is the season of voting, we’re joining the crowd. Always before, we just kind of came up with new shape ideas, made a bunch and tried to sell them. This year, thanks to the wonders of blogs, you get to pick instead of us!
Below are 2 photos, one of the current basic 4 shapes we make, and below are 4 new ones. They are shown ‘naked’…without glaze so the glaze won’t affect your vote. Choose you favorites and then click on ‘Comments’ link at the bottom. You’ll be able to see how others have voted,too.
Just write the numbers in order (favorite first)….you can include current mugs too.
——–1 —————- 2———–3————— 4 ———–
The four current mugs are ‘flare‘, ‘bulb‘, ‘traditional‘, ‘straight‘,
—————-5—————— 6—————– 7————— 8————
The new mugs are variations on the themes. 5 starts with a small bottom and flares into an outwardly curved shape. 6 is similar but starts small but flares dramatically all the way up with a slight curve. 7 is for tha ‘artsy’ crowd. I throw a basic mug, then use a rib to impress a coiled look. The last migh be called a ‘barrel’ shape. Small foot, then pushed out to a gently curved barrel shaped top.
Your turn……vote on!. If you have any specific comments, we’d love to hear them too.
