Morning coffee in a favorite mug made by potter Kevin Crowe. We have loads of pots made by other potters. Using these pots reminds me of the person who made them and of times I may have spent with them. Also, the pots are good teachers. This cup for instance is unlike one I have ever made. It's larger than most of my cups and the shape, with the mouth being so wide, is different than what I'd do. Also, the handle attachment is low down and I've never tried that. It works beautifully! The lower handle provides a nice balance point for the pot and the wider mouth is perfect for when I make coffee using my Aero Press. What a great pot to use. Functional and of course, it's beautiful as well.
