Clay/Ceramic. Handmade. Beautiful. Heavy.
Ages ago one of the Tolkien merchandise sites offered these handmade mugs. I adore handmade things, especially pottery. I ordered 2 but they were on back order and then they became unavailable. I was very disappointed, but I persisted.

I knew they were handmade so I searched for the maker. Given that the site was from the UK that is where I began my search but low & behold (and more than a year later) I found their maker. A potter in the US - a woman who I later found out is a friend of Axordil!! (I ordered my first mugs before I knew Ax). I have mugs that represent the Green Dragon, The Ivy Bush (Hobbit size), and the Prancing Pony (it comes in pints!). The Elven mugs are my most recent acquisition.
Anyway, she and 2 or 3 other potters sell their wares at Renaissance fairs. You can order from
their Facebook page: Ash & Griffon pottery. They also have a website, but I think these days they do most of their business on FB. Look for the photo album with Kim's work.
The Elven mug reads: Selma, fëa, and hröa; which translates to mind, spirit, and body; and miruvor, the elvish drink.
