Hi Everyone, thank you for your comments and interest. Choosing colors for the mugs have been a real challenge. We are currently looking for a vintage orange with brown speckles. So far all orange glazes contain lead. Maybe that's one good reason to enjoy looking at vintage mugs rather than to drink from them. It also prevents hairlines.

Gecko choose the green and I choose the black and gold based on an old Frankoma mug. Employees use to glaze and make mugs for themselves at the factory during their meal breaks. Atomic Chick told me their projects were called Lunchbox Frankomas. She showed me one that was black with white teeth. I just upgraded to gold teeth, like the now popular grill.

The mugs are so much better that I can show in the photos. I don't think anyone would be disappointed. I am so thrilled to be working with and learning from Joniece and Gecko.

If interested in owning a mug, just send me a personal message, Wendy
