This Mug is Handmade on the Wheel. The multiple designs all the way around are Aspen Trees which are so popular in Colorado. The main color is black, the trees trunks are black and white, and other areas can show the beige color of the clay itself. It holds approx. 10-12 oz. of liquid. It can be used in the microwave and can be washed either by hand or put in the dishwasher.
