I apologize that we can not take specific requests for your exact mug or book, as this is a "Random Mystery" sale and the pots need to be chosen from a random assortment to maintain fairness for all customers. 

All of our Stoneware and pottery is completely non-absorbent, 100% dishwasher and food safe.

All mugs were handmade by Joel Cherrico on his pottery kickwheel.

All books are Collectors Editions. Two bookplates, made from handmade paper by Sienna Cherrico, were mounted in the inside cover by the Cherrico Pottery Team, using archival glue. One bookplate signifies the book as a Collectors Edition, exclusively available here on mugsandbooks.com It bares an insignia that matches the mug. The second bookplate was sent to Steven Pressfield, autographed, then mounted in your book.

Each mug is a collaboration between author Steven Pressfield (stevenpressfield.com) and potter Joel Cherrico (cherricopottery.com). Joel and Steven share the sales of their collaborative art 50/50. 

Every mug is a unique piece of handmade art. No two mugs are identical and styles vary. 

Rough Textures: all mugs have rough textures, some more than others. All mugs have flaws and imperfections, drastically unlike any machine made or other handmade pottery. They are natural and part of the art, and do not hurt function. All mugs are 100% non-toxic, dishwasher safe and meant to be used and enjoyed. Learn more: cherricopottery.com/rough-textures

Additions of clay on the handle help these mugs look and feel handmade, emphasizing how they were formed with Joel Cherrico's hands on a pottery kick-wheel. Finger marks on the bottom of each mug were left intentionally, showing how the pots were dipped in glaze by hand. Mugs have rough, strange textures and shapes.

All pottery is handmade by Joel Cherrico and the Cherrico Pottery Team. All of our Stoneware and porcelain pottery is 100% food and non-toxic. Mugs are meant to be used and enjoyed daily. Mugs are dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing all pottery. Most mugs are microwave safe but some experimental colors might have metal colors that cause the pottery to be non-microwaveable. 

Pottery is inherently brittle compared to other, non-brittle materials like metal. If you hit your mug against a surface or drop it, it can break. Broken pottery cannot be repaired. But with careful use, pottery can remain identical for thousands of years.
