This Edgar Allan Poe mug makes a great gift for a reader, teacher, librarian -- or anyone who loves Poe. It will have you Raven. The front reads READING IT'S LIT with an illustration of the great author. The inside is tombstone gray, and the back features a repeat of the front illustration. This is a handmade stoneware mug, created in my New Jersey studio and kiln fired to over 1900 degrees. Made with all lead free, non toxic materials- safe to place in the dishwasher or microwave. Measures 4 x 4 and holds 16 oz.
