This is a soft slab mug. It is about 4-5 inches tall, with a tree type wood pattern around the body. It has a slab handle affixed to the side of the mug where the clay was joined together to form the body. It has a uneven coat of orange over the entire piece. The different amounts of glaze helps bring out the detail in the "wood grain" around the cup. I used a method of miniature coils to help attach the handle to the cup by pinching them together where the two join. Overall, the project is a nice, simple piece, however it is obvious that I did not do a adequate job at constructing the handle.
