GIVEAWAYS... Coffee or tea ?



The winners are: Dawn for the mug and mywifesstudio for the yunomi. Contact me at williperri@aol.com  with your name and address. Congrats! It was fun.

As promised, it's giveaway time again. I promised another piece out of this firing to the followers that leave a comment on this blog. And I enjoyed sharing so much that I also promised a teabowl to my friends at teachat.com.
Sooooo... here we go.
Become a follower of this blog and leave a comment or if you already are just leave the comment. If it's for the coffee mug, tell me what your favorite coffee is and/or when you enjoy it most. If you are a tea drinking enthusiast, leave a comment about your favorite kind of tea that you would enjoy in this yunomi.
In two weeks on the 23 of May around 6 PM EST, I will pull a name out of "each" hat and ship it to the winners, free of charge. :-D
The mug holds 12 oz. and the yunomi holds 5 oz.

  1. Well now ya know Bill, I am a coffee drinker in the AM and a tea drinker in the PM. But I am partial to one particular brand and flavor of coffee but open to different teas. So I will throw out a coffee comment! There is a local market that is wonderful. I love everything about it, the color, the freshness, the diversity of product and customer. BUT THE BEST THING IS THEIR COFFEE! They roast their own and my husband and I only drink the Hazelnut - both regular and decaf. We love it strait up, hot and black! We set the pot on auto and oh the aroma in the morning!!!!:D

  2. Hey there Bill... Dresden from TeaChat here. As you can probably guess my comment is for the yunomi. I can just picture that yunomi filled with 2010 harvest Kagoshima Yutaka Midori shincha. There's nothing like a big mug full of rich murky-green fukamushi goodness. From O-Cha.com of course!

  3. Hey Bill,

    Its AdamMY from teachat. In that Yunomi I could picture myself drinking a variety of black tea's. I picture it as a very natural clay cup which would behave wonderfully for western brewed black tea.

  4. I'm like Pearl and Pebble. Coffee in the Am and Tea after lunch.

    I love to have my coffee right about now, when I am awake before the rest of the household, and about to go unload my kiln :-)

  5. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I have four wheel thrown mugs that are in constant rotation; if they're in the dishwasher I'll pull them out and wash them rather than use a plastic cup. I LOVE the glaze on that mug!

  6. these are gorgeous! another coffee in the morning, tea at night person i am afraid... both pieces are gorgeous! the colors in the coffee mug are so beautiful... but i love the rustic nature of the teabowl... i am pretty particular about my tea - yogi green tea - rejuvenation or antioxidant... must use sugar in the raw and silk vanilla creamer... if any of the listed items are missing - it just isn't the same! very generous giveaway... your work is wonderful, so glad mary ann shared you!

  7. Greetings from a fellow NY art teacher/potter. I have been enjoying your blog and love the pictures. I am a coffee drinker and split my time between mugs and yunomi so you can put my name in one hat or the other.

  8. I am a coffee girl! My favorite is a thick earthy Ethiopian pot o' java first thing in the morning. Like I am having right now, LOL. Thank you for the chance to win one of your mugs!

  9. Hi there. I usually dring a cup of coffee in the morning and another one in the afternoon. In between and all evening I drink a lot of tea. I love your coffee mug! I drink any blend of Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee as long as it is black and strong.

  10. Both of these pieces are beautiful. But I especially like the yunomi. I have a special little soft spot for Japanese inspired design. A little confession, though. I find a yunomi perfect for two fingers of single malt with a splash of water :-)

  12. TubbyCow from TeaChat here!

    Of course the yunomi is my favourite of the two, and I would most often use the beauty alongside my Taiwan Dong Ding Oolong 5-ounce yixing. I can never get enough Dong Ding.

  13. Bill, I'm loving the turquoise colored pieces you've been doing! They are very "oceanic!" I'm a tea drinker (geeber1 on TeaChat) but I can still imaging some great tea filling up that turquoise coffee mug!

  14. I am a tea drinker and love oolongs. But I have to admit that I prefer mugs. So can I just say that I am confuddled.

  15. I am a one coffee in the morning and green/black tea the rest of the day kind of girl. Large mugs for coffee and smaller daintier ones for tea and some times even tea in a cup with a spot of milk and sugar.

  16. llmeier99 from TeaChat here. Love that yunomi! I see some TKY oolong fitting nicely with it.

  17. Hi Bill! I'm a new follower to your blog. I came over from Mary Ann Carroll's blog. I love both of these beautiful pieces of pottery. I drink more coffee than tea, but I do drink both. I love Alterra Coffee as well as Berres Brothers (a WI coffee from near me).

    I like Yogi teas, especially the detox teas. I have to clean the "unhealthy" coffee from my system some how! LOL

    Look forward to seeing more of your designs! Hope you weekend is superb!

  18. Hey Bill! I'm a coffee and a tea drinker but I want that mug, darn it! I may even drink some hot chocolate out of it - how about that?!

  20. Love the pieces! I am a coffee drinker and I drink it first thing in the morning. My utmost favorite brand is called Deadman's Reach from Raven's Brew in Alaska. I first had the coffee at a friends winery and I have been hooked ever since.

  21. Hello there fellow guild member. Sorry I missed the wood kiln firing...I was on vacation but I was and still am interested in the next public firing! I am a coffee drinker by heart and enjoy, of all things, Dunkin' Donuts coffee. I do happen to enjoy a nice hot cup of green tea...

  22. Well Hello there fellow potter! While I am a lover of both coffee and tea, coffee is always my favorite. It is a must first thing and therefore my favorite in the morning in a handmade mug of course. My favorite coffee is Sumatra by Starbucks. It is an Earthy Herbal, x-bold flavor intense coffee. It is a great wake up and my favorite in the morning. I am wondering what yours is now?

  23. Hey Bill! been "following" you on TC for a while..now I can follow your blog too. I am a tea drinker (Japanese sencha's are my fav enoyed with the fam in the evenings)and so is my little girl and my wife. So while normally I would say throw me in for the Yunomi I have been looking for a large mug for the missus..she likes to brew big mugs of herbal teas ;) Nice wares Bill!

  24. Any kind of coffee-- a mocha for something special and first thing in the morning. Special mugs just make it better.

  25. I love the turquoise (my favorite color) in your mug! I drink fake coffee...Teecino because regular coffee upsets my GERD, but I usually sneak a pinch of real coffee into the batch for a little boost in the morning...shhh, our secret! Thanks for the great giveaway, I have been enjoying your blog, which I came across from your wife's site :)
