So here they are, after starting these about a year ago.
Tumbuna holds 26 ounces, and stands approx. 8 1/2 inches tall. This is a large mug. Each mug has cracks added in, making each mug a bit different.
As you can see in an earlier post, this is based on a New Guinea carving.
Below are the various color editions, with descriptions and their prices.

I figured the easiest way to handle this, being that there are 9 color variations, would be to start a reservation list on this thread, then i will go down the list, contacting each person to let them know what is still available. So this Saturday, May 24, at 10am west coat, you can respond to this thread to reserve. Please just post your name, and interest in reserving. The color editions will depend on whats left.

On a personal note, this has been the most fun I have had making mugs. Getting to experiment with different techniques, not locking myself into specific numbers, has made the process very interesting.
my pictures do not do these justice, the photos tend to flatten out and darken the colors

Myrmecodia Tuberosa edition, edition of 4, $46.00 each
SOLD OUTFull Painted edition, (featuring 5 colors) edition of 2, $65.00 each

From the left:
SOLD OUTSepik Lagoon Blue Crackle, edition of 2, $50.00 each, please note, this edition is meant for display only, though the interior is glazed with a solid blue, the crackle glaze on the outside makes it nonfood safe
SOLD OUTBlood of Manhood, edition of 2, $46.00 each, features a subtle two tone red
SOLD OUTSepik River Bank, edition of 2, $70.00 each, my favorite of the bunch, features underglazing of 7 colors, with a custom 3 pass glazing. Interior of each is unique burnt orange, hand mixed each time to make it unique. The photos really do not do this one justice, it is much more interesting and rich in person.

From the left:
Ashen Black, edition of 15, 13 available $42.00 each
Soil of New Guinea, edition of 6, 4 available, $70.00 each, this edition features 7 color underglaze, and spotty glaze finish, with hand mix burnt orange interior that is different on every mug.
Underbelly of the Grey Plover, edition of 15, $42.00 each. cant see it too well in the pic, but there is a reddish brown speckling throughout this glaze.

Shipping/handle/ins. will be $12.00 to anywhere in the US.

my attempt at a closer pic of the Sepik River Bank edition, though the colors still appear flat and darker in the pic.
Thank you for looking!
I hope to get some time to work out some cocktail recipes for this one, and will post a pick of the back and of filling this mug later.
