Great to see some other folks getting into the craft.
From what I can see in your pictires, you will need at least a three piece mold, not including a fourth if you have a recessed bottom. Keep in mind for your wallet, the more pieces to the mold, the higher the cost of the mold, and the more seams to clean up on the greenware. Though, I try to never change a design due to complexity, if you are paying someone else to produce the molds, this may be a factor to consider. For the amount of detail in your sculpture, stay away from solid color glazes; you will loose a lot of it. Stick with semi clear of self antiquing, which will accent your design. Might also be nice to see a version painted with underglazes and done in clear.
Look forward to seeing the progress on your mug.
