The hand-forged texture gives off an antique style, and it makes the perfect gift for the historian and classically natured in your life!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of a bell often conjures images of The Liberty Bell and its famous crack, but that and most bells are cast, not forged. Casting a bell involves completely melting what is called Bell Metal (a mixture of copper and tin) and pouring it into a mold. Forging a bell is accomplished by heating the metal to deformity and shaping it via hammers or machines. This is what inspired the design of the Forged Bell Mug! Its unique exterior texture is meant to mimic shapes left by the hand-hammering process!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr, perhaps, allow the Forged Bell Mug shape and texture to speak for itself, and create abstract shapes and vivid colors to let the form shine through!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the painting step is complete, the mug is dipped in a clear glaze and fired in a kiln. This functions to seal and waterproof the mug and allows it to be hand washed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forged Bell Mug rings with historical significance, and it makes a great gift to the aspiring metallurgist or historian in your life!
