I will guess 'Hand Made'...and, out of some Continuing Ed or 'Pottery 101'
Community College
setting...probably some Nephew or Neice of years back, sent it as a you
know, 'Christmas' or 'Birthday' Present ( but, sent it to him, or to her? O=
r
to both? )
Might be sihned on the Bottom, like "Buffy - 1979" or something.
Probably weighed a pound-and-a-half, and, had a very 'thick' bottom and
robust side-walls and a thick Handle ( which Handle must have been very wel=
l
attached ).
May well have been 'Mother-in-Law Blue' also.
Then too, an eighty year old Guy might well have a Skull which is about as
stout and resillient as say one of those picked clean Thanksgiving Turkey
Carcases sitting on the Counter however many days after, waiting to be made
into Soup Stock, so...
Are they going to release any images of the Murder Weapon Mug?
Once the Trial begins, ( if there is one ) the Mug would have to be Tagged
as
"Exhibit A" I think...
Well, at least the old Gal was, ahem, 'Creative', ( or maybe it was just a
spur-of-the-moment expedient? ) far as that went...not the usual Fire Poker
or Tire Iron or Golf Club or Sad Iron or Rolling Pin, anyway.

U.S. Open tennis referee accused of killing husband with coffee mug
3:37pm EDT
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A prominent professional tennis referee who was
preparing to work at the U.S. Open in New York City was arrested on Tuesday
on a felony murder warrant accusing her of bludgeoning her elderly husband
to
death with a coffee mug.
Lois Ann Goodman, 70, was taken into custody on a warrant filed a week ago
by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office charging her with the
April
17 slaying of her husband, Alan Goodman, who was 80 years old, prosecutors
said.
The district attorney's office said Goodman would remain in custody in New
York while awaiting extradition to Los Angeles, where she faces a maximum
sentence of life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors said they would ask fo=
r
her
bail to be set at $1 million.
She is accused of killing her husband by beating him to death with a coffee
mug at the couple's home in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles.
Goodman is well known in tennis circles and was preparing to serve as a
referee at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships tournament, a district
attorney's office spokeswoman, Jane Robison, said.
The tournament opens on Monday in New York with the men's and women's
first-round matches.

Hi Lori,
But it does lend weight to Mr. Frank Zappa's statement that though
hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, stupidity is the
second most common element. Yup.

I always think of heavy pottery something like this:
"That's a dandy, 'I knock you out!' mug."
