I had originally planned to glaze the inside of this mug and the incised lines on the outside, then smoke fire it. But the lowfire clay I made the mug out of wasn't up to the stress of smoke firing. So I ended up with some Courtyard matte glazes on the outside instead. Not the look I was after but it will have to do. The feather ornament is connected with a magnetic clasp to allow quick disconnect for washing. (If indeed, you do wash your tiki mug. Some would say it destroys the fine rum patina)
