So, this is the final major test before marketing these mugs… The mugs were dipped in different glazes and then sprayed with a second complimentary colored glaze. All glazes are lead free and food safe. Then, carefully placed in the kiln and fired to around 2250 F (Cone 6 for pottery nerds.) Here are the results…

The following are the names and results of the glaze experiments so far…

PRICING

At this point, the pricing structure goes like this… Each order has a one time stamp fee of $100 and the price per mug will depend on the quantity ordered (two dozen minimum order) Pricing differs for wholesale and retail.

To get started, I need a high resolution logo which may need to be adapted to make the letters work with the stamping process. If you don’t have a logo, a logo can be created for $150. Also, a deposit of 50% down to hold your place in the schedule and purchase supplies.

If you are interested in placing an order for two dozen or more original, high quality, stoneware mugs with or without logos, simply go to http://www.customwoodcarvings.com and click the contact page to get in touch…
