The Cup: Just Getting Started

I have rediscovered over the past month how much fun it is to make cups and mugs and I think I have started down a path of focused exploration with the form. I want to explore size, scale, form, handle shapes, surface decoration and as these pictures show glaze combinations.

All the mugs below are approximately 5" tall and 3.5" in diameter Fired to Cone 6 in an electric kiln.

Some of these combinations got a little crazy but I was feeling good and a bit whimsy when I glazed them. I was please with the out comes. What do you think?

Overall these feel a little small to me in scale. I started with about 1lb 8oz of porcelain for each mug. I will be experimenting with the right amount of clay and the size. The overall presence of the mug may be the most important factor in my mind at the moment. Too small it won't hold enough and no one wants it! Too big the beverage will cool before you can drink it all and no one wants it! To find the perfect size is my mission right now. Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated.
