Sculptured Handle Mugs by Artist J.W.Gruber
All of the items for sale on this site store are an original work created by Artist J.W.Gruber.
The finest porcelain and stoneware clays are used to create with.
Each wheel thrown cup is matched with a sculptured handle,
hand painted and then covered with a lead-free
glaze. It is dishwasher safe and will provide
many years of good service.
Each functional pottery piece is wheel thrown using a very nice Cone 7 stoneware clay I purchase from Daley's Ceramic and Pottery Supply in Vineland, NJ. Deb and Joe Daley are fine people and will treat you well! Tell them I sent you and say hello for me!

The glaze covering my functional pottery is covered with my own lead-free formulation that fires clear and glossy at Cone 7 and is very strong. Many, many years of original beauty may be expected from this functionally well balanced and skillfully finished work.
While my work is dishwasher safe and quality sound, it is, above all else, a one of a kind. It is designed and intended to give excellent function and in so doing reveal it's atistic expression as well. Respectful handling will insure it's longevity.
Enjoy!
