This topic drives home again the need to better identify
your work
if you want repeat business from traveling far flung
customers.
http://www.wendtpottery.com/bottom_stamping_method.htm
Anyone can do this and the stamp is frired on an permanent
plus it looks
elegant and allows you to establish a kind of "brand"
identity
that "Joe" or "Mary" scrawled illegibly on the bottom of the
pot never will.

Can anyone help this man reproduce this mug for his wife?

I am sorry, BEAUTIFUL MUG but not my style with glaze or
Clay. I use a
chocolate brown clay and have rather EARTHY glazes right
now.
I would not be able to reproduce that mug for you. I will
pass on your
email though to a few potters who might be able to help you!

Very neat Michael.
Do you apply the stamp before using the wax or after? I am guessing
that the wax is applied after the stamp.
