Tree bark mugs

Three tree bark mugs stacked one on top of another, each with a sleepy face

A dark brown speckled mug with carved bark and a branch-shaped handle

A face resting in a knot-hole, surrounded by carved bark lines

Tiny mushrooms growing along the branch handle

Close view of the carved bark texture and speckled glaze

A pale speckled mug with green ivy leaves and a rosy-cheeked face

The pale mug's peach interior above its smiling face

Ivy leaves climbing the branch handle of the pale mug

A closed-eyed face set deep in the dark bark

A honey-coloured mug with a white rim and deeply carved bark

The honey mug's face, with a pink nose and closed eyes

Ivy winding up the branch handle of the honey mug

The honey mug seen whole from a little further back

Mugs built to look like a cut length of trunk — bark carved into the walls, a handle pulled into the shape of a branch, and a face dozing in the knot-hole. Some of the branches have mushrooms coming off them; others have ivy.

Each one is glazed differently: a dark speckled brown, a pale oatmeal with a peach interior, a honey-coloured one with a white rim. Same tree, different weather.
