Frankoma Pottery #82 Coffee Carafe, Warmer, & 4 Mugs This wonderful Frankoma Pottery coffee set consists of 4 pedestal mugs, one covered carafe, and warmer which functions by placing a votive candle in the recessed area of the warmer stand with the coffee carafe sitting on top.

The bulbous carafe is approximately 7 1/4 inches in height and 7 inches wide across the body including the handle. Matching cups are 4 1/4 inches tall and range in diameter across the tops from 3 inches to 3 1/4 inches. Because the pieces are hand-crafted, each piece is unique and varies slightly in size.

All pieces are done in a mustard yellow color. Mugs are impressed with the Frankoma name and the shape number C13 on the bottom, although on one cup, it is hard to make out the marking. There is also a glaze skip on this cup under the base.

The carafe is stamped on the bottom, with the Frankoma name and the number 82, although difficult to make out. Carafe has a 6-cup capacity.

Warmer stand is 2 3/4 inches tall and is clearly marked Frankoma with no additonal numbers. The underside of the unit displays the unglazed, raw clay finish.

In excellent condition, free of any chips, cracks, flakes or crazing. Pieces look to have been used for display only.
