Seconds Sale! Fullmetal Alchemist Stein
“What is a Seconds Sale?”
Working in clay can be a bit unpredictable at times. Things crack, warp, or develop all manner of unwanted characteristics.
Seconds Sales give these functional, if less-than-perfect, mugs a chance to find a home — at a discount.
Again, all of the mugs are 100% functional, they just have aesthetic flaws that mean you get to save a bit of money if you decide to take them home.
“Why is this piece a second?“
There is a crack on the outside bottom of the mug.

I first watched FMA Brotherhood in my early 20’s, when my partner was helping to get me back into anime.
I’d been a Fruits Basket/Inuyasha/Gundam Wing fan in my early teens, but hadn’t watched any anime in a good 5 years.
On his recommendation, we started watching Brotherhood, and proceeded to display what I think is exemplary self-restraint as we kept ourselves to 1-2 episodes a night.
The next year I joined my first group cosplay, and my partner, our friend, and I walked around Fanime in San Jose with me as Edward, Lust, and Winry.
Fullmetal Alchemist holds a special place for me, both because of the show itself and the memories I’ve formed with my friends around it.
Even after over 15 years, its characters and storyline hold up as complex and dynamic, and the fandom shows up at anime cons to this day.
Whatever this show means to you, these mugs aim to remind you of it.

Every mug I make starts out as a lump of clay on the pottery wheel.
Each one is made one-at-a-time, by hand, by me, in my studio in Sacramento, CA.
(No shadowy assistants mass-producing these in the background — just me, my pottery wheel, my kiln, and a lot of podcasts.)
