This mug is #1 of only 25 Artist Proofs. The mouth is open so it is difficult to drink out of. The next 25 will be a Regular Edition with the mouth closed and a different color glaze. The only way to get these are on eBay. They are truly gorgeous and a wonderful addition to anyones collection.

This new one of Gecko's is gorgeous -- I love the Bumatay mug of his best, but this is a pretty easy 2nd favorite! That mouth is great -- is it open to the interior? Do you have to fill it only halfway, and then be careful which direction you're tipping it when drinking?
