In my Mad Men Era

Denise MacLean

Wheel thrown/altered stoneware, underglaze and slip mono-printed, electric-fired

Monologue: I am no ordinary mug. I am a splash of mid-century wonder, a kaleidoscope of bold design, straight from the Mad Man era. My charms tinkle like cocktail rings, each jingle a nod to a time when risk was stylish and colour was king.
Fill me with your hottest drink, I can handle it, I’ve already survived the fire. Oh, you don’t like hot drinks? No worries, fill me up with a cool gin and tonic and let’s see how the rest of the day unfolds.
Lift me up, I’m your daily dose of daring, a gleam of possibility from a golden age.
