I think these have all found homes at this point, but I was looking through photos on my phone and found some fun humuhumunukunukuapua’a mugs and sake cups I made recently. (They’re thrown, carved, underglazed, etc.)
Maybe I’ll have to make some more soon!

Cute fishes! They’re all so beautifully made, and I love the color effects you got with the different glazes.

Lovely cups!
Weirdly, I’ve been thinking about humuhumunukunukuapua’a lately, humming the little song…

@Tee that’s the Hawaiian name of the fish, aka reef trigger fish.
These little vessels are so charming!

Thanks so much everyone!
And yes, it’s a local fish (and designated as the “state” fish of Hawai’i). “Humuhumunukunukuapua’a” basically means “fish with a pig nose.”
