Hand Painted Mug Gallery

Each birch mug produced by Master's Touch is unique. The texture of the bark and inclusion of knots add to the individuality of each wooden mug. For an even more unique and collectable aspect, many mugs are hand painted by local artist Martin Baumes. Martin takes great care in using the character of each birch mug to bring life and depth to every one of his paintings.

Below are various birch mugs painted by Martin Baumes. Click on the small pictures to bring up detailed photos, or click on the headings to show all mugs of a given type.
