When goblets are back in fashion (last was 1455CE ) you will be forced to conform. Goblets are the best you can chill them in the summer to keep your drink cold, if you all have a different one then it's a talking point and a good way to get people to take an interest in ceramics. Far better than things you just look at, you can use them and get pissed at the same time

But.......what if you drop and break them when drunk?

I had a brief whimsical vision of serving mead out of the bellarmine into the goblets but even whimsy is subject to budgetary constraints these days.

SALT-GLAZED MERMAID 22 INCHES
hand thrown then modeled on Long or Green Island

as above but seated

Now those are impressive

I bought them this morning

Nice. You got the seat for the 2nd one. First is my favourite. So are the legs hollow? Thrown?

arms, legs, bodies, and heads are all thrown, Even the tail fins are thrown and then cut open.
I never liked or trusted the seats that guy made for the mermaids so I will find a really interesting rock next time we visit Skegness

He always did things the hard way coz he had the skill. Getting the form with thin walled clay...

check out the barnacles and seaweed in the hair!

He was really good with bottoms
