This is a fantastic vintage handmade ugly face mug featuring an expressive sculpted face with exaggerated features and loads of character. The earthy brown glaze and textured details give it a true studio pottery, folk art feel. Signed by the artist Elizabeth, this mug is as much a sculptural art piece as it is functional. Perfect for display, conversation, or for anyone who loves quirky, one of a kind pottery with personality.

Excellent vintage condition. The glaze remains vibrant, the structural 3D clay features are completely intact, and the unglazed base shows authentic studio wear. No major cracks, large chips, or heavy repairs. (Note: As this is a piece of handmade studio art pottery, natural glaze irregularities and minor surface variations are inherent to the artist's original crafting process).

Zero chips, cracks, or "flea bites" makes it an absolute collector-grade piece.

Perfect addition for vintage art pottery collectors, folk art enthusiasts, or as a distinct novelty piece for sports memorabilia fans.

Because each mug was hand-thrown and individually sculpted, no two are identical, cementing its status as an authentic piece of late-20th-century American art pottery.

If you ever want to use this mug for a warm beverage like coffee or hot cider, always heat your liquid in a standard, microwave-safe ceramic mug or kettle first, and then gently pour the warm drink into your Elizabeth mug.

Handle with Care:
•Keep displayed away from direct window UV light to prevent the silver accent paint from fading or peeling over time.
•Hand-wash only using lukewarm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft microfiber cloth. Never use abrasive green scrub pads or stiff wire brushes.
•The silver finish on the helmet contains metallic elements that will spark, scorch, and arc in a microwave. Thick stoneware is also highly prone to thermal shock cracking.

•Keep displayed away from direct window UV light to prevent the silver accent paint from fading or peeling over time.
•The high-grog, textured clay features delicate protruding areas (nose, football). Always lift from the main handle and display on a soft liner to avoid chipping.
