Tthomas Arts: Coffee Mug


Tthomas Arts is a store and art gallery run by Tiffany Thomas, a visual artist who makes creations that are vibrant and immersive, characterized by texture and abundance. There are ceramics, paintings and ornaments and if you are in South Carolina there are even classes. I would be tickled to take the Ghost re-enactment class with Adam. Could you imagine?!


Back to this epic mug though. It has a nice heft and feels good on the fingers when held. The gems shimmer and sparkle with gold and pearlized glaze and lie in beds of fluffy white clouds (or is it frosting with those cute aqua sprinkles?!). 




It holds the perfect amount of coffee, not too much so that it gets cold by the time to finish it and not too little so that you make ten trips to get your fill. 



Tthomas is restocking her mugs on July 28th. I follow her on IG and Facebook. The next release looks to be very promising for me as it is Atlantis themed with lots of oceanic vibes. 

I think my china cabinet is ready to be a coffee mug cabinet.

    1. Thank you! I hope you are doing well! This pretty work of art definitely makes drinking my morning brew a touch more fancy. <3

  2. Real talk: How do you clean these little works of art? I'd be so hesitant to use them for anything lest I have to clean them (which will surely destroy them, or at least that's my experience!)

    1. Mugs I have like this one with the gold or pearlized glazing get the quick hand-wash and towel try treatment. I also hand-wash my crystal mugs and the resin curio mugs I have from Kelsey's Star Stuff. My other regular pottery I do put in the dishwasher unless I have time to do a quick hand-wash. I have a couple dozen mugs now that have been stacked and sipped and enjoyed with enthusiasm and >knock on wood< so far nothing has broken or fallen off. They tend to be tough little fellas. And this one is study enough to knock someone out with. A right good skull basher.

  3. Ah I missed the restock, which is probably best tbh. I don't even have a cabinet! You got a pretty blue beauty here though, perfectly at home in sunny Fla. I'm really digging Tthomas' darker hued pieces too.

    1. I missed it too. I forgot she does the newsletter subscriber password thing and didn't check my email. But honestly, I am cool with mugs for now. I just got my Silver Run Ceramics one in. I like the darker ones too. The Marsh one in particular was appealing to me. I might get another one after we move and I get a touch more cabinet space. I did cull a few from the herd recently.
