on this piece, you've got somebody wearing gloves to harvest stinging nettles. these plants are edible after giving them a soak in water or cooking them for a time. Great in a stew or a purée as a sauce. Anyways, this mug is a reminder to harvest the things that grow around you. 

Microwave/dishwasher safe

This piece has a small inclusion of some white clay on the rim. A small flaw, but one I don't mind.
