This mug memorializes a beautifully plumed Labrador Duck, the last time it was sighted was in 1878 in Elmira, NY. It was not a hugely hunted bird, but had a very specialized coastal diet which may have been affected by burgeoning coastal populations and cities.
This piece was created from a wheel thrown body with added sculptural elements. Color is layered throughout the making process at every stage in order to achieve a lively depth in the surface.

- Hand wash only. Not suitable for microwave or dishwasher.
- Measure about 5.25” wide by 4” high.
