Measurements-- 4.5"-H x 5"-L including handle Base is 3.5" Weighs--12oz A little history:Authentic Talavera pottery mainly comes from Talavera in Spain and the cities of Puebla, Atlixco,Cholula and Tecali, in Mexico; as the clays needed and the history of this craft are both centered there. All pieces are hand-thrown and the glazes contain tin and lead, as they have since colonial times. This glaze must craze, be slightly porous and milky-white, but not pure white. There are only six permitted colors: blue, yellow, black, green, orange and mauve, and these colors must be made from natural pigments. The painted designs have a blurred appearance as they fuse slightly into the glaze. All of these features are present on this magnificent mug. ~Please look at and blow up all photos for the best depiction of this item~ This item has always been in a non-smoking, pet free home.
