At this stage, unfortunately it will be ebay only. The "regular" edition, which we're still working out, will still be pretty low numbers - in the dozens I believe. We are looking at using a similar glaze combo as the Mt Bumatay for that run (or is that the APs?), which I absolutely love - a stone look with trickle contrast, but perhaps using cool colours like the old Blue Mountain/beauce glazes in lieu of the yellow & orange lava look, or maybe some of each. I expect Gek will probably be doing a few wild one-offs as well...

Originally a larger open run was on the cards and it may still happen if the response is strong enough. I don't have a lot of control over the manufacturing side of things - other than my design and some input on the glaze selections, Gecko is doing all the hard work himself, and this is not an easy mug to make! I would love to hook you guys up with a special TC edition at a flat price, but at this point it would just be too much hassle for Gecko, who is only one guy and has far more important work to do ( like making his incredible bowls). We are still keeping our options open though, so watch this space. Many thanks for all the kind comments!

Well, if you and Gek are gauging the response I've got two arms waving! :D I think the Bumatay glaze would be a great option for that mug, with or without the trickle contrast. The guy's such a master when it comes to glaze work I'm sure you two can come up with countless offerings (maybe even a limited edition mug/pendant combo).
