The morning light breaks over the empty beach and you catch sight of a strange silhouette moving clumsily across the sand. Scooping up its shoreline treasures, it slips back into the water. What was it? Back on your blanket, you contemplate all of the world’s wonderful oddities and relax with a warm cup of coffee and enjoy the sunrise.

This sturdy round-bottomed stoneware mug is glazed with a spray of floating pale blue over a pale ochre underglaze, and is glazed inside with toasted orange. And with this many eyes on the lookout, you can stay alert on what moves silently in the shadows of the dunes.

This 15 ounce mug is glazed with overlapping layers of gloss speckled lichen green over a satiny pond scum green on the outside and creamy orange on the inside.

Mugs are microwave and dishwasher friendly. All glazes are food-safe.
