Ribbon mug (Rainbow/Pride)

Forget about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, everything you need is *inside* the rainbow. Raise your mug with pride, and drink down everything that life has to offer.  The more you know: The Pride Rainbow flag (which originally had eight colors, but now has six) was created in 1978 by Gilbert Bake.  These mugs were glazed with non-toxic food-safe glazes, and are dishwasher safe. And while I have been known to put my own ceramics in the microwave, I don't officially recommend it -- the rapid change in temperature can cause the glaze to cool more quickly than the ceramic, which retains heat, and so shrinks at a slower rate. This can occasionally call what is called "crazing" (oddly enough this is both a defect, when the piece is functional, and a desired effect, when the piece is decorative, like a vase). Crazing is when the glaze cools faster than the ceramic piece, making small cracks in the glaze. This can happen immediately or even years later, and personally I've seen it
