This Hand Made Pottery Turtle Mug was hand made by me on my potter's wheel. When the mug shape was done, I added the handle, the turtle, and the sand striations. This fella is heading across the sand to the water. The Turtle Mug holds approximately 8-10 ounces of your favorite beverage, hot or cold. It is Microwave and Dishwasher safe. This Pottery Turtle Mug would be a great Hostess Gift, Wedding Gift, Birthday Gift, or a dandy gift for yourself! Enjoy!
