2017 BOTL Mug

[cgraunke]

Going to be running this similar to the Pipe of the Year.
I'd like some nominations from you all on mug shape as well as color combinations, then we'll put together a few polls and see what we come up with.
Goal is to have a final order placed by the end of June.
No need for lists of participants or posts of interest at this point, just looking for nominations of mug shape and glaze color/combination.

I like the bigger 14 oz mugs. So the Tall Belly and Ramsey.

As for color, I like the color combinations rather than the single colors.

I like the Rancher or Ramsey and color combinations rather than the single colors.

I agree, "Marble Glazes" over "Solid Glazes"
Going to have to put some thought into my nominations for colors, though!

Black and gold! Don't care too much about the design as long as it holds a decent amount.

I was initially trying to figure that out myself! Black with a Sunshine drip? Or maybe dijon? Or reverse it with the black drip glaze over yellow/gold body?

I'd personally vote for a black body with a Sunshine drip.

Tall Belly
Ramsey
Jr Exec

Black body / whatever drip...

Shape:
1. Pepin (how could we not put Pepin on the list?! lol) <-amended my answer. The more I look at them, and after looking at some other photos of the Pepin, the more I like the Pepin's shape the best, even without the name connection!
2. Footed - 12oz cuts the difference between the "small cup" people and the "large cup" people

Color:
A Blue that reflects the site colors, with some kind of marble glaze. IE Federal Blue or Heritage with Sky Blue or Grey White. Something along those lines. I think this kind of choice would appeal to the broadest section of folks, as opposed to a solid black or bright green or something, while still maintaining the uniqueness of a Deneen mug.

I like the rancher or the ramsey. Black body with a sunshine drip would work for me.

Shape:
1. Footed - 12oz cuts the difference between the "small cup" people and the "large cup" people
2. Round Belly
3. Pepin (how could we not put Pepin on the list?! lol)

A Blue that reflects the site colors, with some kind of marble glaze. IE Grey with Blue White, or Navy with White or Sky Blue, or Heritage with Sky or White. Something along those lines.

Pepin has to be in the running out of principal!

Pepin has to be in the running out of principal!

This is what I'm saying! And again it cuts the difference between huge mug and smaller mug at 12oz. It's also just a really nice mug that incorporates a lot of their more interesting design features - footed base, curved shape, etc.

 

[bwhite220]

Pepin - black and goldish

 

[manbearpig]

Tall belly and the marble glaze look. Color is not important to me.

Just a thought maybe we could get Kyle to put a warped logo on it and charge 5x as much for it?

[memphsdad]

Junior Executive, Marble Glaze - any of the black+xx color combos

I can get behind the Pepin and the Footed as well. I think the 14oz+ mugs are ugly af.


@manbearpig he doesn't make man-sized coffee cups, sorry bud

I am with Stogie on this one for shape(s). . .
Like the marble glazes. Earth dark tones - preferably to match BOTL & all
