Dude, wow, that is one ugly looking coffee cup! You need to either wash that or toss it. Wait, is that a Sandra Boynton cup? It looks like her drawings. Yes, it is a Sandra Boynton cup. I photographed her at her home and farm many years ago up in Massachusetts, and she gave the writer and I some cups to take home. But this is not a coffee cup. It is used for something else, and has been for years.
Look at this! It is immaculate inside. There is not a speck of dust inside. It is my varnish cup. When I am varnishing a table top that I am refinishing or a telescope I have built or a wood telescope mount, I use this cup to hold varnish. I keep it clean as a whistle inside but don't worry about the outside. But it is so interesting with all the layers of dripped varnish on the outside that it has collected over the years. Just one of my tools of the trade.

It looks like it has served you well over the years for many projects. I am curious what it looked like originally. I looked online as I am not familiar with this pottery artist.
I like that you keep the inside of the cup immaculate so it’s considered one of the Tools of the Trade. I never really read any of her books but I know of them and some of her characters.
