Echo Park Pottery designed by Peter Shire: Short Splatter Mug in Multicolor

The Splatter Mug is handcrafted by Los Angeles' Echo Park Pottery and designed by Memphis artist Peter Shire.  When Shire created his first group of these mugs, he didn't know what to do with the glaze.  He had a bunch of pots of liquid color around and thought it would be very funny to splatter them on the mugs like Sam Francis paintings - mixing the high and the low. 

 

The mugs are crafted in small series using a slab construction, hand-rolled style, then individually handpainted.  This process creates a unique splatter pattern and color combination on every mug rendering no two exactly alike.  Colors and patterns will vary between mugs.  Please allow us to choose one for you; they are all wonderful! Made in Los Angeles.
