Purple Mountain Majesty Mug

$35.00

The interaction of two different glazes created the stylized mountain range that encircles this mug. A thin, white line helps define the separation, then the sky ranges from blue near the horizon to a glossy green (maybe showcasing the Northern Lights!). The generous handle accommodates a three-finger hold.

Top Diameter: 4”
Height: 4”
Capacity: 14 oz

The phrase "purple mountain majesties" in America the Beautiful was inspired by the view of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, CO, as seen by poet Katharine Lee Bates in 1893. Bates visited the city to teach summer school and took a prairie wagon to the summit of the 14,115-foot mountain to celebrate the end of the session. Captivated by the view, she said, "All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse."
