Ø 3.75” x 2.75” h.
Yes, this mug is way more expensive than all of our other mugs. The fish are from a nerikomi block that Shannon had formed for a limited-edition set of sardine trays that we custom made for an event at Mociun a few months ago. The pattern is intricate, lovely, and totally weird for a coffee mug pairing.
We exclusively use Slush Club pieces at home but our kitchen stock consists primarily of studio b-sides and seconds—mismatched wonders that feel like a surreal conversation that we can overhear and join. The collection grows organically; sometimes we’ll find a piece buried in the archive that just feel like it would offer a tonality to a meal or experience that we didn’t even know we were missing.
Long story short, I really want this mug to join that conversation but we’re offering it here because if there is sustained interest in drinking coffee out of a mug covered with small fish, well, we’ll probably make more.

Each cup embeds trimmings from the nerikomi processes that we use to form our bowls & plates. Patterned fragments and solid clay sections are hand-pressed into a plaster mold, casting them in place; inlay patterns are visible on both interior & exterior surfaces, with matching handle extruded from the same pattern.
Interior surface is clear-glazed while the exterior surface is left raw to enhance the experience of touching natural clay. All Slush Club objects are food-safe and dishwasher-friendly.
While our cups are formed in a plaster mold, each cup is unique and variation is to be expected; the stacking of clays and forming to the mug shape also creates subtle warping (like, the opening is not an even oval but rather a more organic version of what an oval could be).
