The picture on the left was posted on Instagram a little while ago and as soon as i saw it i knew i wanted to make a mug of it.

This pic seems to be the only one available of this particular moai (at least what i could find on this forum) and that is all i had to work with as a reference. Even if there were more photos available sticking to the exact shape, no matter how much i wanted to, wouldn't have made it practical as a mug because the opening of it would have been nearly non-existent so i had to change the proportions of it a bit. Even so it still ended up as a large mug but i'm pretty happy with it.


I've only poured a handful so far which still need to be fired and glazed but eventually they'll find their way onto my Etsy store.
