Dark-eyed Junco are the OG “snowbirds”, because they show up right as winter settles in, moving from colder northern forests and mountains where they breed down south to your backyards and towns in search of food. You'll most likely catching them hopping on the snowy ground and leaf litters looking for seeds. That scene is the theme of this mug design.

They have multiple appearances (or sub-species) depending on the geography. Here's the slate-colored form.

Volume: ~11-13 oz

Wheel-thrown (or occationally slab-built) stoneware, hand-sculpted and painted with underglazes and glazes.

Care Guide

for ceramic drinkware & tableware

  • Dishwasher-safe. Handwashing is recommended to best preserve your favorite critters.
  • Microwave-safe with caution. White clay pieces are generally fine. Dark clays (brown, red, or black) tend to overheat in my experience, so microwaving is not advised, or use extra care when handling.
  • Avoid sudden temperature shifts. Let pieces reach room temperature before heating or chilling.
  • Avoid soaking in standing water for long to prevent staining.
