I got my Tiki Farm mug order today! The "Slickster" and "Mr. G Is Stoked" mugs are fantastic! I couldn't be happier with them! However, there are some issues with my "Makalani: Siren Of The Sea" bowl.

On the inside, way at the bottom of the pedestal base, there is a tiny, tiny portion of the bowl missing the seafoam green glaze. The white ceramic shows through and I was concerned if this little unglazed area would be affected by any colored libations I might put in the bowl. For example, if I made a red drink, would the spot get stained pink?

Also, there's a section near the end of the mermaid's tail where it looks as though a dark brown or black glaze from another mug splattered onto my yet-to-be-fired bowl. I thought perhaps the dots might have come from a marker, but they're clearly under the glaze, baked right in, and an (I hope) unintentional part of the finish.

I hate to quibble, since the overall design is simply gorgeous and the imperfections are slight. Still, part of me can't help but be a little upset. Oh well.
