Handmade Laverda Beer Mugs and Espresso Cups

[breganzane]

Hi Folks,

After an enthusiastic reception at a recent Club Lav NSW run, Christiane has made another batch of Laverda beer mugs and ventured out into some espresso cups as well. The bodies are thrown on the pottery wheel. The handles are either extruded, shaped and fitted (beer mugs) or hand-built (espresso cups). The logos are press moulded from tank/fairing badges and then everything is hand painted with under-glaze and fired, before being glazed and fired a second time - all on the premises of the Bungendore House of Speed.
There's about 6-7 hours work in each one, so a bit of a labour of love and only for those who value the difference between hand built and factory produced.
She is asking a paypal payment of USD$60 each plus postage at cost to wherever you may be. One has already safely made its way to a very happy recipient in the US.

Please contact christiane at whitecreek dot net or message me here and I'll pass you along.

Cheers
SteveB

Nice work.

You could get her to make a set of pistons for your bike. Then you'd be one step ahead of Red. Rather than his ceramic coated Ross slugs, you could boast 'fully ceramic' pistons.

Actually, I wouldn't mind one of those mugs.

Excellent! And nice to have some news about Christiane. Do wish her well ...

I’m extremely happy with mine. Hand-expressed passion for my long standing love of the marque. You can tell the amount of work put into it. Arrived from half way around the world perfectly!

and Steve, after I emailed Christiane I went looking for the Bungendore House of Speed on the internet. Looks like you are living in or around a smallish town with lots of interesting history and touristy type attractions.....

Bungendore

Small township only thirty minutes drive from Canberra

Hi Batto,

Please put aside one beer mug for me. I will collect and pay when next I am passing the House of Speed.

Thank you
