This hand painted mug is made with brown stoneware clay and features a Northern Atlantic Right Whale and her calf. Handwashing is recommended.
Mug measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 and holds 12 oz.
The inspiration for this mug came from the idea that everything in nature is connected. Each eco-system and all the animals within them are connected and depend on the health of the Earth and human coexistence to survive. I wanted to choose an endangered marine species due to the impact humans have on the ocean. The Northern Atlantic Right Whale is one of the most endangered large whale species, and one that inhabits the waters connected to Canada. Their species was almost put to extinction by hunting in the 1800s, and are still affected today by human impact from climate change, increased ocean noise, fishing entanglements, and boat propeller strikes. Currently, there are only 370 individuals, including 70 females, and they need our help.
50% of proceeds from this mug will be donated to the Marineland Right Whale Project which helps to extend the reach of aerial surveys off the coast of Florida, where migrating females nurture their newborn calves. To learn more about the work they are doing please visit www.marinelandrightwhale.org
