DANGER! Look out! If you see bubbles, proceed with CAUTION! You never know where Francis will pop up next. This Whittle Hippo is quite tame once filled to the top with his favorite mouth-watering river refreshments. He’s most delighted around happy, cheerful adventurers in their colorful, lush habitats. But be aware, if he gets thirsty, stand clear...his tusks are still quite large!
This ceramic tiki mug will be matte glazed and have a deep grain similar to wood.
This mug is based on Jeremy Spears' "Francis" of his Whittle Hippos (below), wood carved and resin cast, set which he previously sold. You can see it here.

About our mug process: This is an initial design concept. Mug design will get more refined, and may change slightly, as we move from concept, to full turns, sculpt, and glaze testing. On our home page you can see some of our other final mugs which started the same way. You can take a look at the various pictures we have posted of each muh and see how the process unfolds from sketch to final mug, click here! Stay tuned here and our social media for updated pictures during the coming months.
