A hand in the lower right hand corner holding a wheel thrown mug made from white clay, with a round belly in front of a mirror. The lower portion of the mug has a natural, crackle texture and the rim is smooth. The division of texture is marked by a line. In the mirror you can see the reflection of the mug, as well as a framed piece of beadwork hanging on the white wall.

A hand holding a wheel thrown mug made if white clay in front of a window. Through the window there is a bush covered in snow. On the windowsill, you can see an orange toolbox and to the right of the mugs is a curly stalk of bamboo set against the white studio wall. The mug has a narrow foot, round belly that ends in a gentle curve to a slightly more narrow rim.
